Equipment

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces frozen meatballs
  • 1 cup grape jelly
  • ¾ cup chili sauce
  • ¾ cup barbeque sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • In your slow cooker, stir together all ingredients.
  • Cook on high heat for about two hours, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, and the meatballs are hot throughout.

Notes

  • Coat 'Em Well: Make sure the sauce covers all the meatballs evenly in the slow cooker. Give it a good stir to make sure every bite is saucy perfection.
  • No Thawing Necessary: Toss those meatballs in straight from the freezer, boos. No need to thaw, they'll cook perfectly in the slow cooker.
  • Keep It Warm: When the meatballs are done, switch your slow cooker to the warm setting. It'll keep them hot and ready to serve!
  • Stir Occasionally: Every now and then, give the meatballs a gentle stir. This helps the sauce thicken up and ensures the flavors are evenly distributed.
