Make simple, sweet, and savory grape jelly meatballs in your slow cooker for an easy holiday party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz frozen pre-cooked meatballs
  • 1 (12 oz) jar grape jelly
  • 1 (10 oz) bottle chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen meatballs into the slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the grape jelly, chili sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  3. Pour the jelly mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
  4. Stir gently to coat all the meatballs evenly.
  5. 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.
  6. Stir before serving. Serve warm directly from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use chili sauce, not sweet and sour sauce.
  • If you need to keep them warm longer, switch the slow cooker to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting after cooking.
  • You can substitute grape jelly with apricot preserves for a slightly different sweet flavor.
