Make easy, sweet, and savory grape jelly meatballs in your slow cooker. This classic appetizer uses just two main sauce ingredients for a simple, crowd-pleasing dish perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen pre-cooked meatballs
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen meatballs into the slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the grape jelly, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ground ginger until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
  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 gently before serving. Serve warm with toothpicks for easy snacking.

Notes

  • For a slightly tangier flavor, substitute half of the chili sauce with an equal amount of bottled barbecue sauce.
  • If you are looking for quick options for weeknight dinners, this recipe is a good alternative to using meal delivery companies.
  • If you prefer to skip the slow cooker, you can combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
