1 cup apple jelly
1 cup chili sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a crockpot, combine apple jelly, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the frozen meatballs to the sauce mixture and stir to coat each meatball evenly.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving (optional).
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a bit of spice.
Feel free to use homemade meatballs if preferred, just be sure they are cooked before adding to the sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
These meatballs make great sliders when served on small buns with extra sauce.
