Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs are a classic holiday treat! Easy to make and perfect for family gatherings, entertaining friends and potlucks!
While not the latest trend or even a unique idea, these Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs are worth sharing. Why? Because despite my quest to make unique and new dishes to serve every time we have a get together, there’s once recipe that still always makes an appearance. These meatballs are quick, easy and to be totally honest, are a hit every single time. So if you’re looking for something super easy to add to your line-up this holiday season, don’t overlook these tasty little meatball treats!
Even more fun is when you serve them up in a festive little slow cooker like this one! Having one or two smaller slow cookers like this if you like to entertain is a lifesaver. They are inexpensive enough yet cute and perfect for not only a batch of meatballs but also for some Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Dip or some Corn and Jalapeno Dip as well!
Whether it’s a hot summer day or a snowy holiday gathering, meatballs are the perfect thing to serve because:
- they are filling
- they are easy to eat with a toothpick
- the frozen ones are tasty and easy to heat
- it’s easy to make a simple sauce and you can customize it any way you want!
Everyone has their own take on these little treats, from chili sauce to ketchup to all flavors of jelly. Go wild and and try out different combos or stick to the classic, I don’t think you’ll be disappointment. My version happens to use my favorite BBQ sauce along with grape jelly. Just make sure to grab homestyle and not Italian style meatballs and no matter the sauce, they will turn out amazing!

Would love to try the recipe but confused on measurement of bbq sauce and jelly. It looks like half cup (.5) each but doesn’t seem to be enough. Please advise. Thank you
1/2 cup each is correct. Feel free to add more to your liking!
I’ve made these for dinner. On rolls or even over rice. The family loves them and their so easy when you have no idea what to make
These look like the perfect party bite, Thanks for sharing!
So simple yet so delicious! These have always been one of my favorite appetizers. My only problem with them is that I have a tendency to eat way too many of them!
