Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen meatballs
Sauce
- 1 (18 ounce) bottle spicy BBQ sauce
- 1 (9 ounce) jar grape jelly
Instructions
- Prepare Meatballs: Place the frozen meatballs directly into the crockpot in an even layer to ensure they heat evenly.
- Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour the spicy BBQ sauce and grape jelly over the meatballs. Stir gently to combine the ingredients so that the meatballs are fully coated.
