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 grape jelly: Not all grape jellies are created equal. For the best results, choose a jelly that is made with 100% Concord grapes and has no added sugar or corn syrup.
  • Use a variety of meats: You can use any type of meat for these meatballs, but a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal is a classic choice. You can also add some chopped bacon or sausage for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the meatballs: The meatballs should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Otherwise, they will become dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the meatballs and stick to them. If the sauce is too thin, it will run off the meatballs and make them dry.
  • Serve the meatballs warm: Grape jelly BBQ meatballs are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can serve them as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.

Conclusion:

Grape jelly BBQ meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking.
