Description

This easy Crock Pot Meatballs recipe combines frozen homestyle meatballs with a delightful grape jelly chili sauce for a perfect party appetizer or cozy meal. Slow-cooked until tender, the sweet and tangy sauce beautifully coats the meatballs, making them flavorful and juicy with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 28 ounces frozen homestyle meatballs

Sauce

  • 20 ounces grape jelly
  • 12 ounces Heinz chili sauce


Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
