  • Total Time: 15 minute
  • Yield: Approximately 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz frozen homestyle meatballs
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (preferably smoky or bold)
  • 1 cup grape jelly (or substitute with raspberry, cherry, or pineapple preserves)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of your Crockpot with cooking oil to prevent sticking and add the frozen meatballs in an even layer.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce and grape jelly until smooth. Add soy sauce and garlic powder if desired.
  3. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently toss to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for 4–5 hours or High for 2–3 hours without lifting the lid.
  5. If the sauce is too thin at the end of cooking, remove the lid and cook on High for an additional 20 minutes to thicken.
