Ingredients
Scale
1 (32 ounce) bag frozen pre-cooked meatballs
1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
1 (10 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 the mixture is smooth.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
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 gently before serving directly from the slow cooker to keep them warm for your guests.
Notes
You can substitute chili sauce with equal parts ketchup and a dash of hot sauce for a similar flavor profile.
For best results when serving a crowd, keep the slow cooker on the ‘Warm’ setting after the cooking time is complete.
