The closer the holidays get, the more family get togethers we have. Just makes sense, you know, to spend time with the ones you love. What makes even MORE sense, is to spend time eating with those you love! Food = Love. Okay, not really…but it sounds good. One of our family favorites to bring to our get togethers is a giant pot of grape jelly and BBQ sauce meatballs! Because I honestly hate slaving over a stove, I sooooo take the easy way out with this one!

Basically I just throw 3 things in the slow cooker and let it do it’s “thang”. That just gives me more time to spend with family, instead of staying in the kitchen cooking while they’re all talking, playing games or watching the big game on the TV. Farm Rich Snacks comes to the rescue every time for this recipe. I just prefer the flavor over other brands.

Grape Jelly and BBQ Sauce Meatballs Ingredients (there’s only 3, folks!)

  • Grape Jelly – 18-20 oz. bottle
  • BBQ Sauce (any flavor you like) 18 oz. bottle
  • 28 oz. bag frozen meatballs (we use Farm Rich), apprx. 50+ meatballs

 

Instructions:

Pour grape jelly and BBQ sauce into slow cooker and stir to combine. Drop in the whole bag of frozen meatballs and mix with the sauce until all of the meatballs are covered. Cook on high in slow cooker for 3-4 hours. I usually turn the slow cooker down to warm the last hour so it will thicken the sauce up a little.

(The printable recipe is further down below if you want to print and put in your recipe box!)

  26. So many memories here. When I was in high school, the mom of the boy I dated used to make crockpot little smokies with grape jelly and bbq. I dont see too many people do do meats with the grape jelly trick!

  27. My favorite “hack” right now is using canned chicken instead of cooking and then shredding! Too much work for this old woman and the Great Value canned chicken breast meat is really good and economical, especially for me. I use it in literally every thing from casseroles, to enchiladas, for chicken pizza, soup, noodles, you name it. If I don’t need all the broth that comes in the can, I drain it into pint size canning jars with the lid and keep it in my freezer to use in other recipes.

    Reply

    • That is awesome Judy! We use the same canned chicken pretty often for those kinds of meals too. That’s a great idea though, about keeping the broth in the cans. I’ve never done that! I always just drain it down the sink. :/
