Dan and I get together with friends once a month to play Euchre…would you believe I just learned how to play Euchre a couple months ago? Crazy! Anyway, when we get together, everyone brings a dish to pass. The last couple times I’ve taken my party meatballs recipe (this is the slow cooker I use and LOVE!)
This is an extremely easy meatballs recipe that I got from my mom and altered a tiny bit to suit my taste.
Slow Cooker Party Meatballs
Ingredients
- One big bag of Meatballs (I buy them at Gordon’s Food Service…I think it’s a 5lb bag)
- Two 32 oz jars of Grape Jelly (I buy the cheapest one I can get at the store)
- Five 10 oz jars of Chili Sauce
Pro tip…Pick up these slow cooker liners. Just trust me. This recipe is good, but it’s messy. These liners help with that A LOT!
Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners 2 Pack (8 Liners Total)
Directions
- First, put your slow cooker liners
in your slow cooker (do this…trust me!). Place the entire bag of meatballs into your slow cooker.
- Using a spatula or spoon, scoop all of the grape jelly out of the jars right on top of the meatballs.
- Open and pour all five jars of chili sauce onto the meatballs
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally to mix the jelly and chili sauce together.
- Once everything is mixed and the meatballs are hot, turn the slow cooker to the warm setting and serve!
in your slow cooker (do this…trust me!). Place the entire bag of meatballs into your slow cooker.
These are delicious and will make a great appetizer or addition to any meal! Whether you’re having a birthday party, get together with friends, holiday party or a graduation party, these meatballs are a welcomed addition to your menu! You can even experiment with different jellies. I had a friend tell me that she uses jellied cranberry sauce and chili sauce. You could probably use any combination you wanted! I was thinking a Hawaiian themed meatball would be good with pineapple and soy sauce…maybe some green or red peppers! Yum!

OMG, I am making this exact thing right now! I add some cracked pepper and garlic powder to mine. They are so easy and everyone always enjoys them.
Do you thaw the meatballs before putting in crockpot?
Nope!! Put them in frozen!! So easy!
Can you break this down to 2 person meal? What would ratio be for like 25 meatballs ?
I don’t have a bag of meatballs here to see exactly how many are in the bag, but maybe just cut the recipe in half. You may have a little more than 25 meatballs, but these are even better reheated the next day!
How would i break these down to two person meal ?
I would cut the recipe in half or thirds.
Those look so tasty — and easy to make too. I am going to have to keep this recipe in mind!
If you make them, people will BEG you to bring them each time!
My husband and sons would love this! Thank you for sharing such an easy recipe. It’s perfect for our busy schedule!
It’s so good! My son and daughter like to eat it over rice sometimes!
I make these all the time, they are always a big hit!
