Ingredients

  • ¾ cup grape jelly
  • 1 ½ cups ketchup
  • 2 pounds frozen fully cooked meatballs (approximately 48 small meatballs) or homemade meatballs

Instructions

  • If starting with raw meatballs, prepare them as per your preferred recipe. Arrange the cooked or frozen meatballs in a 4-quart slow cooker. Add the ketchup and grape jelly, stirring until the ingredients are well blended. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meatballs are thoroughly heated and the sauce is smooth and bubbling.

Notes

For a quicker method, prepare the meatballs as directed on the package or recipe. In a separate medium saucepan, heat the ketchup and grape jelly over medium heat, simmering for 1 minute. Add the cooked meatballs, allowing them to simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
