Make simple, crowd-pleasing grape jelly meatballs in your slow cooker for your next holiday gathering. This sweet and savory appetizer is easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds frozen pre-cooked meatballs
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
  • 1 (10 ounce) bottle chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen meatballs into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the grape jelly, chili sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until combined.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs, stirring gently to coat them completely.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  5. Stir the meatballs before serving. Keep warm on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for your party.

Notes

  • For a slightly tangier flavor, substitute half of the grape jelly with apricot preserves.
  • If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, prepare the sauce and store it in the refrigerator. Add the sauce and meatballs to the slow cooker on the day of the party.
  • Serve with small toothpicks for easy serving at your holiday party.
