Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Grape Jelly Meatballs
  1. Begin by placing your slow cooker on a stable surface and plugging it in. Arrange the frozen meatballs at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Pour a generous amount of grape jelly over the meatballs, followed by the barbecue sauce. Add chili garlic sauce if desired.
  3. Gently mix the ingredients together to coat each meatball with the sauce.
  4. Cover and set the slow cooker to low for 3 to 4 hours, stirring halfway through.
  5. Check for doneness about 15 minutes before serving; meatballs should be heated through and the sauce thickened.
  6. Switch the slow cooker to warm mode until ready to serve, garnishing with parsley or chives if desired.
