Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32 oz) bag frozen fully cooked meatballs
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan or slow cooker, combine grape jelly, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
- Add the frozen meatballs and stir to coat them in the sauce.
- Stovetop: Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meatballs are heated through and sauce is thickened.

- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving if desired. Serve warm with toothpicks or over rice for a meal.
Notes

- Try swapping grape jelly for cranberry sauce or apricot preserves for a fun twist.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated easily.
