These Southern Grape Jelly Meatballs are a classic party appetizer made with just three ingredients. The sweet and tangy sauce combines grape jelly and chili sauce, coating the meatballs for a delicious, crowd-pleasing bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds frozen fully cooked meatballs
  • 1 cup grape jelly
  • 1 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the grape jelly and chili sauce over medium heat. Stir until smooth and heated through.
  2. Add the frozen meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbling.
  4. Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 4 to 6 hours.
  5. Serve hot as an appetizer or over rice for a main dish.

Notes

  • You can use homemade meatballs instead of frozen for a more personal touch.
  • Adjust the ratio of jelly to chili sauce based on your preferred sweetness or tanginess.
  • Serve with toothpicks for easy party snacking.
