Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds frozen pre-cooked meatballs
- 1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
- 1 (18 ounce) bottle chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Place the frozen meatballs into the basin of your slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, combine the grape jelly, chili sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat all the meatballs.
- 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.
- Stir the meatballs before serving. Keep warm on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for your party.
Notes
- You can substitute the chili sauce with an equal amount of barbecue sauce for a slightly different flavor profile.
- For best results when serving a crowd, use a large slow cooker.
- If you do not have frozen meatballs, you can use fresh, fully cooked meatballs, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
