You can’t go wrong with this easy Crockpot Meatballs recipe! With only 3 ingredients it is perfect for holidays, pot lucks, tailgating and game day! We love how easy this appetizer recipe is to make. Of course it can be made on the stove top too. I love using my slow cooker because not only is it easy to prepare it in, it becomes an easy to transport recipe too! Perfect for on the go eating. My husband LOVES these meatballs and they are always requested for the Super Bowl or any Big Game or party. In fact I always make appetizers on Christmas Eve for my family and we serve these in addition to other appetizers on our menu.
This is a dump and go recipe. Simply mix the chili sauce and grape jelly until blended in a crockpot. Add all the frozen meatballs but make sure completely covered with sauce. Turn crock pot on low for 4 – 5 hours or high for 2 hours. Serve with a toothpick. We like to use fancy toothpicks :-).
You can easily make this gluten free by using a gluten free meatball. We love Casa Di Bertacchi brand which is sold at Sam’s Club. It is gluten free. This makes me happy because then I can enjoy the appetizer on Christmas Even with the family.
Here is the final product of this easy but delicious Crockpot Meatballs recipe. With only 3 ingredients your guests will never realize how easy it is to prepare. I hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as my family did. It is one of the most requested appetizer recipes I make. That is a mom win for me because of how simple it is to make! It is a family favorite for sure.
