3 Ingredient Sweet & Spicy Crock Pot Meatballs!!We Love this Deliciously easy appetizer for the Holidays!!!


 The easiest, crowd‑pleasing appetizer you'll make all season.


🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 bag (about 2 lbs) frozen meatballs (beef, turkey, or plant‑based)

  • 1 jar (12 oz) grape jelly

  • 1 bottle (12–18 oz) BBQ sauce (smoky or classic; swap with chili sauce for extra tang)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Add meatballs to the slow cooker (no need to thaw).

  2. Pour the grape jelly and BBQ sauce evenly over the top.

    • For a smoother sauce, whisk together jelly and BBQ sauce first, then pour.

  3. Cook on LOW for 3–4 hours (for deeper flavor) or HIGH for 1.5–2 hours (if short on time).

  4. Gently stir until each meatball is glossy and well‑coated.

  5. Switch to warm and serve directly from the slow cooker.

🌶️ Easy Upgrades

  • Extra kick: Stir in ½ tsp red pepper flakes or 1 tsp sriracha.

  • Fresh finish: Sprinkle with sliced green onions or sesame seeds.

  • Tangy twist: Use ⅔ cup apricot preserves + ⅔ cup chili sauce in place of jelly and BBQ sauce.

✨ Why Everyone Loves These

The sweet jelly and zesty BBQ sauce melt together into a glossy, finger‑licking glaze—simple, irresistible, and always the first to disappear.

Perfect for game days, holiday gatherings, or anytime you need a no‑fuss crowd‑pleaser.
