Need a dish to bring to a party? This is a great appetizer! It couldn't be easier! There are many recipes floating around for Sweet & Sour Meatballs but this is my favorite and when I bring this anywhere - baby shower, pot luck, Super Bowl party, etc. there are NO meatballs left! So don't expect any left-overs! This is sweet and tangy and I dare you to just eat one! :)
Sweet & Sour Meatballs
1 bag Armour brand frozen meatballs (usually come with 32 meatballs in a bag - make sure they are "caramel coated")
2 12oz jars of grape jelly
2 12 oz jars of chili sauce (not to be confused with cocktail sauce which looks exactly the same but tastes totally different so pay attention!)
I cook this in the crock pot for about 4 hours and it turns out great. Just empty the jelly and chili sauce in your crock pot and whisk to combine. It will be lumpy but the jelly will melt and the sauce becomes smooth as it cooks. Pour in the bag of meatballs and stir to get them all coated. Put the lid on, cook for 4 hours and serve! This is a hit at any event!
I make this for my guys for them to enjoy while watching the many football games they watch. You can substitute cranberry sauce for the grape jelly too for a little different flavor. Works well on little smokies also. Great for parties!
