Grandpa’s 3-Ingredient Meatball Bites
Ingredients
- 1 bag (about 24–32 oz) frozen fully cooked meatballs

Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the grape jelly and chili sauce. Stir well until the mixture becomes smooth and fully blended. - Add the Meatballs
Place the frozen meatballs into a slow cooker (crockpot). Pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir to coat them evenly. - Cook
Cover and cook on:- Low heat for 4–5 hours, or
- High heat for 2–3 hours
Stir occasionally to ensure the meatballs are well coated and heated through.
- Serve
Once hot and glazed, serve immediately. These meatball bites are perfect as an appetizer or party snack. You can serve them with toothpicks for easy grabbing.
Tips
- You can substitute chili sauce with barbecue sauce for a sweeter, smokier flavor.
- Add a pinch of garlic powder or a splash of hot sauce if you want extra depth.
- Keep them warm in the slow cooker during parties.
