Equipment

2 quart slow cooker

Ingredients

32 ounces frozen homestyle meatballs
.5 cup BBQ sauce
.5 cup grape jelly

Instructions

Add meatballs to slow cooker
Top with BBQ sauce and jelly and stir
Cook on high until heated through (about 2 hours) or on low for about 4 hours, stir occasionally

Notes

this is easy to double, triple or quadruple just increase your slow cooker to a 4, 6 or 8 quart size
swap out bbq sauce for chili sauce or ketchup to mix up flavors
swap out grape jelly for another flavor and feel free to use a no sugar added version as well
Make sure to grab homestyle and not Italian style meatballs and no matter the sauce, they will turn out amazing
Watch the slow cooker and stir occasionally so that the meatballs and sauce don't burn (anything on the bottom or sides will cook a little faster)
leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat covered loosely with paper towel in microwave
I don't recommend freezing leftovers unless you use fresh meatballs to make them
