Description

A simple and crowd-pleasing crockpot appetizer made with frozen meatballs, grape jelly, and BBQ sauce. Sweet, tangy, and savory, it’s perfect for parties or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 18 ounces BBQ sauce
  • 18 ounces grape jelly
  • 32 ounces frozen cooked meatballs

Instructions

  1. Mix the BBQ sauce and grape jelly together in the slow cooker.
  2. Add the frozen meatballs, stirring so everything is coated.
  3. Cook on low for 4–5 hours, or on high for 2 hours.

Notes

  • Use different BBQ sauces to vary the flavor.
  • Try cranberry jelly for a tangier version.
  • Homemade or turkey meatballs also work if fully cooked.
  • Stir gently to avoid breaking the meatballs.
  • Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce if needed.
