Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 bag of frozen meatballs (about 40 pieces)
  • 18 ounce jar of grape jelly
  • 18 ounce jar of your favorite BBQ sauce


Instructions

  1. Combine Sauces: In your crockpot, add the grape jelly and BBQ sauce. Stir well to combine these two ingredients into a smooth sauce.
  2. Add Meatballs: Place the frozen meatballs into the crockpot with the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated and submerged in the mixture.
  3. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 3 hours. Stir the meatballs occasionally to ensure even cooking and coating with the sauce.

Notes

  • Use frozen meatballs directly; no need to thaw before cooking.
  • For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the sauce mix.
  • Serve with toothpicks for easy appetizer serving or over rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
