Slow Cooker Party Meatballs
Today I made two versions of meatballs that are perfect for parties. This basic party meatballs recipe is really a classic recipe that everyone should have in their party repertoire. The flavors of chili sauce and grape jelly are really just a time-honored combination!
The second recipe I made was a fun Crock-Pot Tangy Cranberry Meatballs and those are fantastic too!
I love both of these meatball recipes because they make a quick and easy appetizer when you need something to serve a crowd!

Instead of chill sauce, have you ever tried Salsa? You can choose your desired ‘heat’ level, and with the Grape Jelly makes an awesome Sweet & Sour flavour.
I have not, but that sounds like it would be good.
What size bag of meatballs? They can vary.
I dont have one in front of me, but they are the ones with like 30 meatballs in them (or less)
What do you mean chili sauce and where in the grocery store is it located?
My store has chili sauce (heinz brand and a store brand) in the same area as the hot sauces.
The meatballs look okay. The presentation takes away from them looking more appetizing . A real plate instead if styrofoam would have helped. Otherwise they look like a bunch of meatballs from the school cafeteria steam line. IJS.
Which of the 2 did you prefer?
Grape Jelly or Cranberry Sauce?
Grape Jelly is my favorite.
Have you ever tried out with cocktail sauce? That’s what I use along with the grape jelly…. very yummy!
