Meatballs
- 28 ounces Frozen homestyle meatballs
Sauce
- 20 ounces Grape jelly
- 12 ounces Heinz chili sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen meatballs, grape jelly, and chili sauce to the slow cooker. Stir everything together gently to ensure the meatballs are fully coated with the sauce.

- Stirring every 30 minutes helps the meatballs absorb the sauce and cook evenly.

- For a spicier variation, add a few dashes of hot sauce or some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
