Hello Friends!
I have been finishing up Bridgerton on Netflix. Anyone else watching it? I am finding it a fun twist that is a combination of Downton Abbey and Can’t Buy Me, Love. Today’s recipe is perfect for an evening of binge-watching.
Today’s recipe is an easy one when you are looking for a tasty appetizer or snack to put together quickly. This one is made easily in the crock pot and just requires two additional ingredients (Meatballs with grape jelly and chili sauce)! It honestly doesn’t get any easier than that!

Like my Air Fryer Jalapeño poppers and my chicken buffalo meatballs, this meatball appetizer recipe is delicious and easy – the best kind!

Ingredients
This recipe is so easy with just three ingredients. I always keep meatballs on hand just so I can make this recipe at any time.
Meatballs– of course, they are the star of this show. You can of course make your own homemade meatballs, or you can use frozen, which comes out tasty and makes this recipe so easy. You will want to use a basic meatball or an Italian-style meatball. Any combination of chicken/beef/pork meatball will work well. NOTE – I would not use flavored meatballs or meatballs in a sauce as the sauce ingredients may not be entirely compatible with sweet and sour.
Grape Jelly – Honestly any generic grape jelly will work well in this recipe. I use whichever grape jelly is on sale.
Save The Recipe!
Hot Sauce – My brand of choice is this one from Heinz. It ALWAYS comes out delicious each time.

How to Make Grape Jelly Meatballs
Step 1 – Throw all the ingredients in a crockpot or slow cooker. Heat on low or high and stir often. And that’s it! So easy!

These are so good. I don’t like grape jelly but for some reason, it works here. Maybe it’s the cooking or the hot sauce that burns away that heavy grape flavor. Either way, a winner!
Easy and delicious – the best combination!
What a flavor combo! So good!!!
grape jelly works so well here with the meat balL!
