Easy 3 Ingredient Meatballs (Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs)
Description
This recipe melds frozen cooked turkey meatballs with a simple sauce consisting of grape jelly and barbecue sauce. The combination creates a thick, sweet, and tangy glaze as the meatballs cook in a slow cooker on low or high heat. The slow cooking process warms through the meatballs thoroughly and allows the sauce flavors to meld and coat each meatball evenly.
Due to the minimal ingredients and ease of preparation, this dish provides a reliable option for casual meals or gatherings. The meatballs can be served straight from the slow cooker as an appetizer or as part of a main course alongside rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Nutrition information notes indicate the sauce quantity in the recipe exceeds what typically sticks to the meatballs, with some sauce left in the slow cooker after serving. This may be useful when considering portion sizes or leftovers.
