Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 jar(s) grape jelly
1 bottle bbq sauce (any kind)
1 bag(s) frozen meatballs (from sam's about 80 in bag)

Steps:

  • 1. Dump all three ingredients into your crockpot and turn it on low. Let it cook all night. Turn it down to warm in the morning and wait for the party.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of grape jelly: Use a grape jelly that is thick and flavorful. Avoid using a jelly that is too runny or watery, as it will not coat the meatballs properly.
  • Brown the meatballs before adding the grape jelly: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meatballs from becoming dry.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the grape jelly sauce until they are cooked through: This will allow the meatballs to absorb the flavor of the sauce.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta are all great options.

Conclusion:

Grape jelly meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy grape jelly sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to serve meatballs, give this recipe a try!
