Make impressive, crowd-pleasing grape jelly meatballs using a slow cooker for your next holiday gathering. This recipe delivers a classic sweet and savory appetizer with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds frozen pre-cooked meatballs
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen meatballs into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the grape jelly, cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  5. Stir gently before serving warm directly from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • For best results when serving a crowd, keep the slow cooker on the ‘Warm’ setting after cooking is complete.
  • You can substitute chili sauce for the cream of mushroom soup for a slightly spicier flavor profile.
  • If you need to make this recipe ahead, prepare the sauce and store it separately. Add the sauce and meatballs to the slow cooker a few hours before the party starts.
