A Super Easy, Yummy Appetizer!

If you're doing any sort of potluck, get together or party...these easy slow cooker meatballs are the bomb!  They're so tasty you'd never guess they only take 3 ingredients or 3 minutes to toss in the crockpot :)

The ingredients are a snap...

  • 32 ounces of meatballs, any kind you like ~or~ you can make them from scratch
  • 1 bottle chili sauce
  • 1 jar of grape jelly

You mix up the ingredients, cover and cook them a couple hours. Easy, peesy...

You can also mix it up a little.  This is sorta a "classic" recipe but you can also change one or both the ingredients and come up with something totally different but equally tasty.  How about one of these ideas:

  • Swap out the grape jelly for apricot or plum
  • Swap out the chili sauce for salsa
  • Swap out the meatballs for kielbasa or little smokies
  • And the list goes on...

With us a couple little tweaks and maybe a triple crockpot you can easily have all the appetizers you need for any party.  It's a super simple way to take the stress out of most any get together prep.

Just check out the step-by-step pictures below.  Once you run through them once this recipe is a snap. You'll only wonder why you never made them before!

Hi! I'm Gwen. And I have a confession to make. I now own 11 slow cookers & 4 pressure cookers. What started out as a necessity, turned into a mild obsession. And then into Slow Cooker Kitchen.
The goal for this site started out as quick & easy cooking. Then healthier and from-scratch options got added. And now it's evolved into freezer meal cooking too. Who knows what's next. Come join me on this slightly crazed crockpot-pressure cooker journey.
