Ingredients
- 18 ounces grape jelly
- 12 ounces Heinz chili sauce
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 32 ounces cooked homestyle meatballs
Instructions
- Add grape jelly, chili sauce, BBQ sauce, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Whisk until well combined.
- Add meatballs to the sauce and toss to coat. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until warmed through.
Notes
- Even Cooking: Don’t overcrowd the slow cooker! If you double the recipe, use a larger slow cooker so the appetizers heat evenly.
- Storing & Reheating: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw before reheating in the slow cooker, on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
- Keep Them Warm: Use the “warm” setting to keep the meatballs at the perfect serving temperature during parties. A great party hack!
- Extra Sauce: Love these BBQ grape jelly meatballs saucy? Add a little extra BBQ sauce and grape jelly while cooking.
