- 18 ounces grape jelly
- 12 ounces Heinz chili sauce
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 32 ounces cooked homestyle meatballs
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.
- 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.
