Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs frozen meatballs
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1 ½ cups barbecue sauce
- ½ cup chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly grease the crockpot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add the frozen meatballs directly into the crockpot and spread them evenly.
- In a bowl, mix grape jelly, barbecue sauce, and chili sauce until smooth.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the meatballs and gently stir to coat.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.
- Stir once or twice during cooking to ensure even coating.
- Once heated through and the sauce thickens, adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Use a high-quality barbecue sauce for the best flavor.
