Make easy, crowd-pleasing grape jelly meatballs in your slow cooker for your next holiday gathering. This recipe offers a classic sweet and savory appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen pre-cooked small meatballs
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
  • 1 (10 ounce) bottle chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen meatballs into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the grape jelly, chili sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  3. Pour the jelly mixture over the meatballs, stirring gently to coat them completely.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  5. Stir the meatballs before serving. Keep warm on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for your party.

Notes

  • You can substitute chili sauce with barbecue sauce for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • For best results when serving a crowd, use the ‘Keep Warm’ setting after the meatballs are fully cooked.
