Description
Make these simple, crowd-pleasing grape jelly meatballs in your slow cooker for a sweet and savory appetizer that brings festive cheer to any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32 ounce) package frozen pre-cooked meatballs
- 1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
- 1 (10 ounce) bottle chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Place the frozen meatballs into your slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, mix the grape jelly and chili sauce together until smooth.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce to the jelly mixture.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
- 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.
- Stir gently before serving directly from the slow cooker to keep them warm for your holiday party guests.
Notes
- You can substitute chili sauce with equal parts ketchup and a dash of hot sauce for a slightly different flavor profile.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a teaspoon of onion powder to the sauce mixture.
- If you want to make these ahead, prepare the sauce and store it separately, then combine with the meatballs and cook on the day of the party.
