Recipe:
4-5 lbs. Frozen Italian Meatballs(or vegetarian, or vegan meatballs)
1 can (16oz) Sloppy Joe Sauce (Hunt's Manwich Sauce)
2 cups BBQ Sauce (I used sweet baby ray's)
2 cups Grape Jelly (Welches concord grape jelly)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce.
Place all ingredients in crock-pot, turn on low heat for 8hrs or more. To make them faster you can use high heat for 2hrs or until the meatballs are hot.
You can also use vegetarian or vegan meatballs such as those from Quorn, they work well for this recipe and I've made mini patches for parties for non-meat eaters.

Short, sweet and right to the point. That's how I like it.
You got that right!!
I made this on 2/9/23 and it was a hit not a single meatball left. This will be the only way I do this from now on. THANK YOU! 🤗
Been looking for this recipe for a while, tried to ask my mom but memory loss got the best of her. Thanx a bunch i can now make a childhood favorite of mine.
I made these every year for Christmas for the past 3 years. Always a hit!
What do you serve it with
I've been coming to this video for years. Every time there's a pot luck or I need a hors d'oeuvre for dinner this is perfect. Thank you
I remember making these in grade school for one of our holiday parties. The class thought she was crazy when she brought out the Grape Jelly until we all tried them. Huge hit! We had some awesome teachers! 😋
I made this last night and it was a hit. I used a 5 lbs bag homestyle meatballs and they were all eaten. The aroma had the ER lit up. Sooooo good!!😋😋
Great meatballs recipe my family love them so now this is my favorite meal
This is delicious!!!! I love grape jelly BBQ sauce meatballs and sausages!!!! Soooo good. Thanx for sharing your recipe.
I made these for a baby shower, they were delicious. A huge hit!!!
Gameday is Sunday Super bowl 2022! Been using this recipe for just about every occasion!
Delicious!! Thank you.
I added some regular yellow mustard, I guess you could use whatever you prefer, Worcestershire sauce, splash of malt vinegar, and minced onion the second time I made these.
I add jalapeños and even some kielbasa sometimes. I'll have to try your version next time I make them.
Thanks I was looking for a recipe or guide on these meatballs. Basically gonna do this whole recipe just for myself tbh
Enjoy!
This is a GREAT recipe! I tried it this week with meatballs, and I'm trying it again next week with cocktail weenies.
So I didn't have enough grape jelly one time and used some strawberry jelly. Sooo good and now I do it everytime. Also, try the homestyle. Great idea with manwich sauce!
Omg I learned your recipe years ago and thought about remaking your recipe again tonight but almost couldn’t find your video. So many people uploaded on how to make this but none look just as good as yours. Your recipe is the only way to go!!
Wow just made these and they came out amazing im sure my kids will love them thank you!
I made these for my daughters birthday bash and I did not get a one. They were gone as soon as they went to the table Thank you so much for the recipe
They devour this everytime i make it. Thank you for sharing.
Tried this recipe for thanksgiving and it was a big hit
Thanks! I've been doing it with gardine vegetarian classic meatballs since family have gone vegetarian and it works great like that too although you only need 2hrs on high.
Wanted to leave comment below, I made the same recipe you did on the video last week for a friend's gathering and it was the bomb!! They loved it. Thank you so much!!
I just bought the stuff to make this version. I will post an update after I make them this Sunday!
I'll give my honest opinion.
I've had multiple other jelly meatball recipes and none have gone wrong yet!
Ok I tried this for my church,they loved it.......!! Unbelievable 😚..but with the chili sauce make sure it's not hot chilli sause,unless you want a bit of fire.......it's good both ways
+Donna that's awesome! Glad everyone liked it. Been using this recipe for 15 years for potlucks and parties. Even did vegan ones the last time for my friend who is vegan.
EatDrinkFoodMe & Fun you are a life saver
Donna Use sweet chili sauce. It's not hot at all. My 5 year old loves them.
I am sitting here and my mouth is literally watering
Dude this is the best recipe I ever tried......
I made two pots and all of them were gone..
I tried your recipe to the "T" Bro...totally awesome!!!! Thank you!!!
this was super delicious. my family loved it. i cooked mines for 8 hours on low heat. PERFECT!!!!! :-)
Thanks a bunch. I'm going to try these for my daughter's birthday party. I have very limited oven space and never thought of using my crockpot. Thank you!
I've seen so many variations of this recipe, but this one looks the best. I bought all the ingredients today and will try tomorrow. Only I'm making home made meatballs, otherwise my grandmother will spin in her grave lol.
Thanks! I've done this with homemade meatballs and they tended to be a bit soft and fall apart. The pre-fab ones from the store then to be stiffer and get quite soft in the crockpot. So if you do use homemade nana's recipe meatballs, you might be able to cut back on the length of time the meatballs need to crockpot. Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
EatDrinkFoodMe & Fun you are right, I'm making this now and the meatballs are getting pretty soft. But the sauce is perfection. The Manwich sauce is sooooooooo good in there!
How did it come out?
I couldn't find the sweetened chili sauce would Heinz chili sauce work?
Can you I ask how it tasted? I’m not so into sweet things but I couldn’t find any spider ones
They are good yum they were a hit when I brought them to the football party
Thank you! Im trying something new! Im bringing your recipe to a Ladies Brunch today! 😇✌️
This is my first time watching your channel I needed a meatball recipe I’m going with yours. I did like and subscribe. Thanks 😊
Thanks for this special one recipe... I make it different im from PR and i just use Grape Jelly, Cocktail Sauce, Sofrito and Complete Seasoning a little bit water and i cover them until they are done. But i want to try this way... They look so good! Thanks for the video.
Autism_mom 2011 Vlogs I’ll need to try it this way
I finally have the opportunity to try your recipe for my large family. The only difference is I've made my meatballs from scratch. Blessings to you for this video.
How long did you leave cook them in the crock pot since you cooked the meatballs yourself?
@@Akire519 I only cooked them for about 1 to 2 hours in the sauce, then left them on medium heat while the family served themselves. And they loved them!
@@The_IridescentGoddess Thanks!
New subscriber here, im new to cooking and let me tell u THANK U for putting the measurements and everything needed in description! Cant wait to make this tonight!!
Itallian theme thanksgiving Just put in crock. Smells great already 😌 THANK YOU ❤
I should make some grape jelly meatballs for Easter Sunday
I Loveeeee meatballs I'm definitely making these for thanksgiving my grandma makes these for every holiday ND I love them but this year she isn't going to be in town ND I have to have my meatballs so I guess I'm making my own looks very good
Hello from Canada!
Colleague brought these meatballs to a work potluck today... Everyone was asking for the recipe and she provided this link! The meatballs and sauce is 10/10. Such a great combination and flavorful YUM.
Hello!! Thanks for the great story! Glad you all enjoyed the recipe. I've made it a few times for potlucks myself these last few weeks, including using vegetarian meatballs. My go to recipe for kids and a crowd.
Just got me a batch of Italian meatballs with these ingredients started in my crock pot.. Smells delicious so far!!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
Bernadette Robinson how many hours did you put it in crokpot?? Low???
I have a potluck to go to tonight and hub wanted meatballs like this..never made them before....oh... my...gosh... the bomb.... I don't even need to tweak the recipe.... it'll be my Go To recipe..thank you ! ~~Phoebe from Lakeside
I haven't made them yet, but now that I have the recipe I will be making them soon. I had Grape-Jelly Meatballs at a Christmas Party once or maybe even twice. These are the best meatballs I have ever ate, everybody wanted the recipe. But not many people got the recipe cause it was an old family recipe. Because you mentioned Mom & where she worked (Hunt's Manwich Sauce) led me to think this might be the secret recipe. If this happens to be the same guy from that Christmas Party. It would be nice to know I have his guarded secret recipe now. We played slow-pitch softball together in Riverside, Ca. Allstate Christmas Party.
Awesome, hope you like this recipe. I've been using it for parties and potluck for years! Let me know how it goes!
Definitely doing this today
In charge of appetizers for Thanksgiving this year and I am making this as one of my apps! Looks yummy 😋 TFS.
+Deborah Barnes awesome!!
I make this on occasion. This is one of my favorite things to eat
Thank u although I didn’t cook my meat balls that long the sauce recipe was great
How long did you cook yours
Thank you! I will make this for my Christmas dinner at work.
yum I need to try this recipe..I'm looking for ideas for my Grandsons Birthday next month for appies
I have a few chicken wings and ribs recipes for kiddos, finger foods are a must. You might want to scroll through my videos and get some inspiration.
You want to serve your grandma frozen meatballs
Love it.. Glad to see you use Sweet Chili.. :) and totally yum.. :)
Grape jelly and sweet Chilli sauce with meatballs. That sounds great!
Thanks! It is always a hit at parties.
He bent over like he's going to catch a football😅😅😅😅❤❤
"I like to use this in place of ketchup!"
*procedes to say
"and some ketchup"
This recipe is great for a party.
Omg I love the music!!
I've been looking up different recipes for crockpot sweet and sour meatballs and yours looks the best by far. Can't wait to make them for my Super Bowl party this weekend!
Nice! Hope you have a great party and enjoy the game!!
Made these and they are delicious. They didn’t need 8 hours to cook tho
I saw a meme referencing this dish and got curious because grape jelly and BBQ sauce sounds like an odd pair. I want to try this so badly though
If I were bringing these to a party at work, how would I keep them fresh until the party starts? It'll be at 1230ish, but I'll be getting to work around 830. Thanks in advance! These look delicious
I did the same. I plugged the crock pot in at work and reheated it till noon. My lid latches onto the crockpot base so it was easy to just bring the whole thing into work. Otherwise you can bring it in a large bowl or dish and microwave it if you have a large microwave at work. Hope everyone likes your meatballs!!
So happy I found this recipe!
Thax!!
Definitely trying this for 4th of July loos delicious 😋
This really looks great. I never tried putting sloppy joe sauce in mine, that's very interesting. I must try that the next time I do mine in the crock pot. However I do think 8 hours was a bit much I turn my crock pot up on high to speed up the cooking process. I'm just saying!!!!
i like manwich too i bet bold would be good too
Looks delicious I’m gonna use your recipe today. What do you pair it up with like for example potato salad or what other sides do you make with your meatballs?
Love it this is my favorite recipe
8 hours seems long for pre cooked meatballs.
How long should it be?
Like 2-3hrs maybe
Must have some low wattage on that crock pot.
jesuslovesmebetter I think it has a small candle underneath 😂
Yea it's very long. 3 hours is plenty of time
I love this recipe. Thanks
OMG I made this for my Super Bowl Party and everyone loved it! Thank you so much! Fly Eagles Fly!!!
Excellent recipe. I made it today
Looks yummy I will try this later this week
Thanks for checking out my video. Let me know how it goes making the meatballs!
Did you try it?
Great recipe!!! Thanks!!!
trying it now - excited!!
Awesome recipe!! You did an excellent job with your video - short & informative. Instead of standard manwich I used their bourbon barbecue version I found at my local grocery store and it came out incredible.
What does the Jelly do for this recipe? Does it have to be Grape or would Strawberry work? Thank you
They were the bomb 🎉thanks 🎉
Trying this tonight 🥰 thankyou
What a crazy sauce
Thank you loved the ingredients!!
*American* cooking at its finest.
What's American about it?
Yes!looks good !thanks !
That looks amazing, great job..TFS!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I always add a can of pineapple chunks.....it's pretty good.
Do you drain the juice out of the can of pineapple or add it in the pot too
Sloppy joe sauce? This recipe has a lot going on. I’m going to try it
Did you try this? How'd it turn out? I saw a recipe that uses chili sauce grape jelly and an optional pinch of cayenne pepper.
Yeh we're doing Costco here. It okay look great man.
Looks good
Thx you!
Thanks! I loved it.!
Do I have to use the mamwich
Never tried it with the jelly... super curious now
It’s to offset the strong taste for the bbq sauce. It’s more common than you thjnk
@@R456jen I have a question. Does it taste sweet ir tangy? I'm trying to imagine the taste
@@nope.thankies it taste like regular meat balls. there is no sweet or tangy. taste to. 9 times out 10 youve probably had bbq meatballs made with jelly.
@@R456jen I unfortunately haven't. Meatballs in general are not common in the dishes where I come from. I want to try this recipe now
@@nope.thankies it’s good, try it. Great for appetizers
Love this
I woud have never guessed grape jelly was in these
Looks interesting, I just want to know what the grape jelly adds to the dish. Can you taste the grape jelly? Or does it only add an extra sweet taste (like adding sugar)?
The other sauces have more flavor so it masks it but you can taste a hint of the jelly. If you use something like black berry or straw berry jam it taste more fruity. If you prefer another jam or to use some honey instead the recipe works fine
Huckleberries maybe?
Looks delicious 😋
Thanks for this video. I am doing this tomorrow. About same amount. The 8 hours has me worried though. Does it really take that long to heat all the way through on low? Or, is it about the flavor development? Help... And Thanks again.
No it doesn't take that long, you just need it heated all the way through. THe flavors do mellow more and the meatballs shrink a bit by 8hrs but it works for parties. If you want to do it on the stove it would be way faster to get it heated up, and you can pour into a crock pot to serve hot at the party.
I made this for my party and it was great!!! You really need to tell people to make way more than they think they will need. My party goers went through these things in fifteen minutes. As for the timing, I heated from frozen for about an hour on high and then went to low for three more hours and they were perfect. I will do this again soon and won't change a single thing about your recipe. Thanks so much!
good video, ty
Yes
I saw "Grape jelly BBQ Meatballs" and thought, huh? I never imagined grape jelly being an ingredient in any BBQ recipe, so I had to take a look. You didn't do a taste test or describe what these taste like, but I'm still curious enough that I may actually try this. But, my Italian wife might kill me in my sleep if I ever bought frozen meatballs, so I'll have to make them from scratch.
If you do them from scratch I'd suggest make about 1/2 the sauce to just simmer the meatballs on the stove. If you crockpot them that long they will melt into meat sauce. The reason to use frozen is they aren't as tender and juicy, so you can cook them super long and they'll hold up still.
@@EatDrinkFoodMeFun Good tip, thanks!
yum i love meatballs
Kickass meatballs.
thanks
I never tried grape jelly when making a meatball sub. Can you taste the jelly at all.
