Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 16 ounce (453 g) jar of grape jelly
  • 12 ounce (340 g) jar of chili sauce (I used a Wegman's brand but Heinz sells them too; it's usually located near the ketchup and hot sauce)
  • 64 ounces (1814 g) frozen meatballs

Instructions

  • In a bowl or small sauce pot, mix together grape jelly and chili sauce as best you can. It's okay if it's a little lumpy from the grape jelly. It'll all melt together in the slow cooker once it's warmed up.

  • Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. Stir every couple hours or so to re-coat the meatballs in the sauce.
  • Serve hot with toothpicks!

Notes

I used all beef cooked frozen meatballs. Feel free to use your favorite type of meat. Turkey meatballs work well in here too.
