Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Grape Meatballs
  1. In your 6-quart slow cooker, combine grape jelly, chili sauce, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir gently until smooth.
  2. Add frozen meatballs to the slow cooker and stir gently to coat each meatball with the sauce.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, stirring halfway through to redistribute the sauce.
  4. After 4 hours, uncover and stir gently. If the sauce is too watery, increase heat to HIGH for 10–15 minutes with lid off.
  5. Serve on toothpicks for appetizers or over rice for a family meal.
