  • 2 lb frozen meatballs

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup grape jelly

Garnish (optional)

  • Chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, and grape jelly until smooth and evenly combined, ensuring the jelly is fully incorporated into the mixture.
  2. Add meatballs to crockpot: Place the frozen meatballs into the crockpot in an even layer to ensure even cooking.
  3. Pour sauce over meatballs: Pour the prepared BBQ honey sauce evenly on top of the meatballs, coating them thoroughly.
  4. Cook the meatballs: Cover and cook on high for 1 hour or on low for 2 hours until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly and thickened.

Notes

  • Using frozen meatballs allows for convenient cooking without needing to thaw.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey and grape jelly to taste.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved depending on serving needs.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook uncovered for the last 15 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
