Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Chili Sauce Meatballs
Sweet, tangy, and just a little smoky, these Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Chili Sauce Party Meatballs simmer away in the slow cooker until they're coated in a glossy sauce you'll want to drizzle on everything else at the party too.
Ingredients
- 32 ounce bag frozen fully-cooked meatballs
- 12 ounces chili sauce such as Heinz
- 10 ounces grape jelly
Instructions
- Add the meatballs to the slow cooker. Add the chili sauce and grape jelly. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 hours on HIGH or 4 to 6 hours on LOW. Serve directly from the slow cooker with a serving spoon or toothpicks.
Notes
To make the meatballs from scratch:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon EACH salt and black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently just until combined. Don’t overmix, or the meatballs can turn tough.
- Roll into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t touching. Bake for 12 minutes or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
