Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen cooked meatballs
  • 1 (18 ounce) bottle BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup grape jelly
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Combine BBQ sauce, grape jelly, and Worcestershire sauce in your slow cooker. Stir well.
  2. Add the frozen meatballs to the slow cooker. Stir to coat them evenly with the sauce.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5-2 hours, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  4. To keep warm for a party, switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting. Stir occasionally to prevent drying.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
  • You can make these ahead of time. Cool completely, then refrigerate. Reheat gently in the slow cooker on low or in the microwave.
  • Serve with toothpicks for easy appetizer access.
