This recipe is a classic simply because it's so delicious. And when it's made in your crockpot, it's even easier. And using your crockpot means all you have to do is stir occasionally - if you have any left to stir! I myself think cocktail sauce is delicious with the jelly; it's basically just like chili sauce but a bit spicier. Any jelly or jam and any spicy tomato-based sauce will work well.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours, 25 minutes

Yield: Serves 8-10

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds precooked frozen meatballs
  • 1 cup grape or apple jelly
  • 2 cups chili sauce or cocktail sauce

Preparation:

Heat meatballs in oven as directed on package. Place in 3-4 quart crockpot. Mix jelly and chili sauce or cocktail sauce thoroughly, pour over meatballs, stir well, cover crockpot, and heat on high 1-2 hours until sauce is hot. Turn heat to low until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

Fabulous!, Guest Cindy

Every time I make this I get requests for the recipe. The meatballs are so tender (DON'T stir a lot while they're cooking, and then stir very gently before you serve them) and the flavor is wonderful. Ten stars!
