Go go go! That seems to be how life is going right now for me, we are just on the go and always going somewhere and of course getting together with our friends and family as well. As with any other get together one of the most important parts is the food and drinks!! I mean you can have a good time without it but it sure makes it better to gather with full bullies am I right?? Plus it is probably no secret I like meat and love my crock pot so these Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs were perfect for our get together!
Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs Ingredients
-
- 64 Meatballs
- 1 28 ounce bottle of bbq sauce (I used a honey bbq)
- 1 30 ounce jar of grape jelly
Did you know that Amazon is a great place to order groceries!!! I love that I can just hop on and order when I realize that I am out of something, especially like Grape jelly I don’t use often but need large of amount of for a recipe.

Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs Directions
Spray your slow cooker with a nonstick spray. I used my smaller 4-quart crock pot to make this in. When I do a double or triple batch I do use my 8-quart crock pot!! I will be the first to admit that having multiple crock pots can be amazing especially when you host different size of get togethers!!

Put in your grape jelly and your bbq sauce.
Mix together the sauce combination
Then put in your meatballs and stir it all together
Turn crockpot on low
I set a time for 30 minutes to stir and then an hour after that to keep stirring, with all the sugar it will help to stop it from sticking and burning the edges.
Cook until done (mine took about 4 ½ hours to complete)
Serve!!! We ate ours on toothpicks was a huge hit.
What do you make for your family and friends get together in your slow cooker?

I remember having these once at a get together and meant to get the recipe. Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to make these for our New Years get together.
Connie Reed says
Do you use regular meatballs or Italian frozen meatballs???
Jenny says
You could use either. I use the smaller sizes just to make sure they cook properly.
Nicole Elliott ~ Client says
Yumm!! I love slow cooker meatballs at parties, they’re always one of my favorites!
CakePants says
I’ve never heard of pairing grape jelly with meatballs, but this looks delicious! What a simple recipe!
Lynn says
I’ve been doing something similar for years. Still use the grape jelly but instead of BBQ sauce I use a full bottle of Heinz chili sauce. So yummy.
Barb S says
Ohhhh that sounds yummy! Thx for the tip!
Dorothy Miller says
Yes I use the chili sauce also, with meatball or little smokies! Delicious with either!
Christine says
Jenny I am so going to try this. It looks wonderful and so easy to make.
MZ says
These are really good I add a good squirt of mustard too …good on a hot dog bun also
Jill says
I use 2 bottles of cocktail sauce and 1 jar grape jelly big hit at office xmas party
Peggy says
I have been making these for years, except use the chili sauce, and add a package of little smokies along with the meatballs! ALWAYS a party/gathering favorite. I will try them with the BBQ sauce to see which we prefer. Thanks for sharing.
Christine says
Seems like a recipe I would like. Don’t understand spraying pot and then adding jelly and barbecue sauce and stirring. Purpose of spray being defeated. After spraying pot it seems as though jelly and barbecue sauce should be mixed together before putting them in pot
Jenny says
I spray the pot so that sugar in them doesn’t stick to the crock pot. You could mix them together in another bowl if you want, I just like to save on dishes so that’s why I do it this way. When I make it at like potlucks and it cooks there its just easier to be able to dump and stir in one dish.
Melissa says
Crock pot liners are a plus with this too. No mess.
Joanne says
Replace the meatballs with Little smokies hotdogs or any other brand of cocktail hotdogs. They are just as delicious as the meatballs.
Jenny says
That sounds amazing! I am going to have to try this out!
donald r hinzman says
how do i fine the reply to one that you have it is call potatle and bacon and cheese
Bobbi says
Sorry so ignorant but here goes At first glance I thought this wS a quick appetizer but you have to make the meatballs first, right – I don’t buy pa kaged meatballs due to all the salt ?
Jenny says
I use packaged meatballs. I have a girlfriend who batch cooks her meatballs to freeze them so recipes like this are still easy for her to do. I need to learn to make meatballs but I haven’t been brave enough yet
Crystal says
I just use same ingredients that I use to make meatloaf and form each meatball. I like to use the Lipton Beefy Onion soup mix it has meatloaf recipe on back of box.
Barbie harris says
I have used plum jelly and ketchup. Worked great. So yummy!
Dan says
Do you cook the meat ball before you mix the jelly in
Jenny says
No I put them in frozen and let it cook. I just stir every so often to make sure everything gets blended together.
