Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 32-ounce package homestyle meatballs
  • 1 cup Barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup grape jelly

Instructions

  • Set up your Crockpot on a stable, heat-resistant surface and place the meatballs into the Crockpot, spreading them out evenly.
  • Pour the grape jelly and BBQ sauce over the meatballs. Try to get an even coat over all the meatballs.
  • Cook the meatballs on high for 1 hour or on low for 2-3 hours. The longer cooking time on low helps the flavors meld together better.
  • Once the meatballs are cooked, stir them gently to ensure they're all coated in the sauce. Serve them warm from the Crockpot.

Notes

  • If you like a bit of heat, add a splash of hot chili sauce (like Frank's hot sauce), or use sweet and spicy barbecue sauce instead of honey barbecue.
  • Use 3-4 quart slow cooker, or larger.
  • Serve them to your guests straight from the slow cooker, just provide them with a serving spoon and some clean picks so that they can help themselves! Or just serve in an appetizer bowl.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
  • Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
