4-Ingredient Sweet & Tangy BBQ Meatballs
These 4-ingredient BBQ meatballs cook in a sweet and tangy slow cooker sauce made with BBQ sauce, grape jelly, and chili sauce. Serve them for dinner or keep them warm for an easy party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen fully cooked meatballs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1/2 cup chili sauce
Instructions
- Add the frozen meatballs to the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the BBQ sauce, grape jelly, and chili sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the meatballs. Stir gently to coat.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
- Stir before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
Notes
- Use a BBQ sauce you already enjoy because its flavor is prominent in the finished sauce.
- For less sweetness, add a little extra chili sauce or a small splash of vinegar.
- For a thicker sauce, leave the lid slightly ajar for the final 20 to 30 minutes.
- If your slow-cooker manufacturer recommends thawing frozen foods first, thaw the fully cooked meatballs in the refrigerator before cooking.
