Ingredients
Scale
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 thoroughly so that all the meatballs are evenly coated in the sauce.
- Cook Low and Slow: Set your slow cooker to low heat and cook the mixture for 4-5 hours. Alternatively, use high heat for 2-3 hours if you’re short on time. Stir the meatballs every 30 minutes to ensure they stay well-coated with the sauce and cook evenly.
- Serve Warm: Once cooked, serve the meatballs directly from the slow cooker to keep them warm throughout your event or meal.
Notes
- Use homestyle or classic frozen meatballs for the best texture and flavor.
- Stirring frequently prevents the meatballs from sticking and helps maintain sauce consistency.
- This recipe is great for parties or potlucks as it stays warm in the slow cooker.
- You can adjust the chili sauce amount depending on how tangy or spicy you prefer your sauce.
