Crock pot or instant pot

Ingredients

28 ounces grape jelly
12 ounces Heinz chili sauce or favorite BBQ sauce
32 ounces frozen meatballs, fully cooked
1 Tablespoon cornstarch + 3 tsp water to thicken
hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

Spray the inside bowl of a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Place frozen meatballs in the slow cooker first.
Pour the grape jelly and chili sauce over the meatballs. Give it a stir to make sure the meatballs are all coated.
Cook on high for 2 hours, or low for 4 hours.
Once the meatballs are done cooking, add in the cornstarch slurry. Stir and continue to cook until sauce starts to thicken. This will take about 3 minutes. Change the slow cooker setting to the warm setting until you are ready to serve them.
Serve as an appetizer with toothpicks, or as a meal with rice if you desire.
