These Grape Jelly Meatballs are a classic party appetizer made with just three ingredients: frozen meatballs, grape jelly, and BBQ sauce. They’re sweet, tangy, savory, and incredibly easy to make in a slow cooker or on the stove.
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen meatballs
- 18 ounces grape jelly
- 18 ounces BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Add the frozen meatballs to a slow cooker.
- Pour the grape jelly and BBQ sauce over the meatballs.
- Stir until the meatballs are evenly coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until heated through.
- Stir before serving and keep on the ‘warm’ setting during serving if using as a party appetizer.
Notes
- You can use homemade meatballs instead of frozen for a fresher option.
- Use different flavors of jelly (like cranberry or apricot) for variety.
- Choose your favorite BBQ sauce—sweet, spicy, or smoky—to customize the flavor.
- This recipe is perfect for game days, potlucks, or holiday gatherings.
