These Sweet and Tangy Grape Jelly Meatballs are a classic appetizer that’s as effortless to prepare as it is delicious. With just a handful of ingredients and the magic of a slow cooker, this dish is perfect for parties, potlucks, or casual weeknight dinners.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb frozen meatballs (fully cooked)
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1 cup chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for depth of flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
- In a slow cooker, combine the grape jelly, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add the frozen meatballs to the slow cooker and gently toss to coat them with the sauce.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and coating.
- Once the meatballs are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, they are ready to serve.
- Serve warm as an appetizer with toothpicks or over rice for a hearty main dish.
