Meatballs are a staple at home. I have tried different meatballs recipes and this crockpot meatballs recipe is the best! All you need are just three simple ingredients to make these delicious meatballs; Chili Sauce or BBQ Sauce, a jar of Grape Jelly, and a package of meatballs. Dump everything in your slow cooker and set it to cook on low. If using cheese, add them on top of the meatballs twenty minutes before the end of the cooking time.
This recipe is a lifesaver! These crockpot meatballs are the easiest party appetizer! Super delicious and amazing to feed a hungry crowd. I always double the batch, especially when serving at cocktail parties because these delicious meatballs go out fast! For a simple yet filling dinner, these meatballs are superb to pair with mashed potatoes and your favorite veggies or a simple side salad.
