Notes
Storage Instructions:
- Store: Refrigerate cooled meatballs with sauce in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Freeze (with sauce) in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Reheat: Warm in the crockpot on low, stovetop on a gentle simmer, or microwave in short bursts, stirring often.
- Balance the flavor: Use equal parts grape jelly and BBQ sauce for the perfect sweet and tangy taste.
- Stir once or twice: Gently stir during cooking to keep the meatballs coated without breaking them apart.
- Don’t overcook: Cook on low 4-5 hours or high 2 hours, longer can dry out the meatballs.
- Keep warm for parties: Set the crockpot to “warm” so your grape jelly meatballs stay hot and ready for guests.
- Line the crockpot: Use a slow cooker liner for super easy cleanup afterward.
