Instructions

1

Mix the Sauce

In the slow cooker, whisk together the BBQ sauce and grape jelly until fully combined and smooth. Taste the sauce and add a pinch of salt if desired.

2

Add Meatballs and Cook

Add the frozen meatballs directly to the slow cooker and stir gently to coat them in the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through cooking.

3

Serve and Enjoy

Once the meatballs are heated through and the sauce has thickened and become glossy, switch the slow cooker to warm. Stir one more time to coat all meatballs evenly before serving over rice or as an appetizer with toothpicks.
