Whether it’s a holiday bash, a Sunday kickoff, or a casual get-together, these meatballs are consistently the first thing to disappear. The secret is the magical glaze created by the jelly and sauce!
What You’ll Need
1 Bag (approx. 2 lbs) Frozen Meatballs: Standard beef, turkey, or plant-based all work great.
1 Jar (12 oz) Grape Jelly: This provides the iconic sticky sweetness.
1 Bottle (12-18 oz) BBQ Sauce: Use a smoky BBQ for a classic taste, or swap for Chili Sauce (like Heinz) if you want a zesty kick.
Simple Prep Steps
Load the Pot: Dump the frozen meatballs directly into your slow cooker. No need to thaw them first!
Make the Glaze: Pour the BBQ sauce and grape jelly over the meatballs.
Pro-Tip: If you prefer a smoother sauce, whisk the jelly and BBQ sauce together in a small bowl before pouring, but it will melt down perfectly either way.
Slow Cook: * Low Heat: 3 to 4 hours (Best for deep flavor absorption).
High Heat: 1.5 to 2 hours (If you’re in a pinch for time).
