Description
Make these simple, crowd-pleasing grape jelly meatballs in your slow cooker for an impressive appetizer with a classic sweet and savory flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen pre-cooked meatballs
- 1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
- 1 (10 ounce) bottle chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Place the frozen meatballs into your slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the grape jelly, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder until smooth. This is your easy grape jelly meatballs sauce.
- Pour the sauce mixture 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, stirring gently halfway through.
- Once heated through and the sauce is bubbly, serve these holiday party appetizers directly from the slow cooker using toothpicks or small forks.
Notes
- For a slightly tangier flavor, substitute half of the grape jelly with apricot preserves.
- If you want to make this recipe ahead, prepare the sauce and store it in the refrigerator. Add the sauce and meatballs to the slow cooker a few hours before serving.
- Serve these grape jelly meatballs with toothpicks for easy grabbing while mingling.
