Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen fully cooked meatballs
- 24 oz jar pasta sauce
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional, for extra flavor
- Fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Place the frozen meatballs directly into your crockpot.
- Mix BBQ sauce and grape jelly together, then pour over the meatballs.
- Sprinkle in garlic powder if desired and stir to coat the meatballs evenly.
- Cook on Low for 4–6 hours or on High for 2–3 hours, until heated through.
Notes
Recipe Notes:
- The meatballs can go straight from the freezer into the crockpot. No thawing or pre-baking needed!
- Use any sauce you want! Just make sure that you're using 2 cups for every pound of meatballs.
- If you just want plain, juicy meatballs, you can still use your crockpot. Cooking the frozen meatballs in a crockpot with no sauce may make the meatballs a little too dry. To fix this, I like to add about 1 cup of water or beef broth to the bowl of the slow cooker. This helps keep the meatballs nice and juicy as they cook.
