This recipe was perfect. I only used 3/4 of the jelly but everyone loved it :-)

I substituted cranberry sauce for the grape jelly, and used frozen meatballs. It was just okay. Half got eaten. Probably will not make this again.

These just didn't do it for me. I wanted to like them because a friend of mine has a similar recipe that uses grape jelly, and hers are great, but I did not care for this recipe. The sauce tasted a little better than the meatballs, but I'll never make these again. I used ground sirloin, Italian bread crumbs, and baked the meatballs instead of frying them, but I can't imagine those changes making the difference between a five-star recipe and one that I threw away after a couple of bites.

These are very good meatballs and very, very easy to make. I made them a second time this week - for a Valentines Party for mom's/kid's - and it was a hit! I usually have a family Valentine dinner, so I used a big bag of frozen MB's from Sam's thinking there would be at least half a crockpot full of leftovers for the dinner - wrong!! About a dozen were left because everyone just loved them. I did make one addition this time and that was to add a can of cranberry jelly which changed up the flavor just a bit from the usual recipe that makes the rounds quite a bit!

I made the recipe even easier by simply buying frozen meatballs. Can't get any easier than this for a crowd. I also tried strawberry jelly and that worked well too.

Well, this was not a success for me. I brought these to an office party and they were barely eaten. Noone went back for seconds and I didn't receive any compliments. I personally thought the "grape" taste was a little strong and it was too sweet. Definitely won't make these again.

These were so good. Everyone loved them. I baked the meatballs instead of frying them and kept them in the freezer for a few days. The day I needed them I put them in the crock pot with the sauce for about three or four hours. The extra time cooking in the sauce gave the meatballs a candied texture. Yummy!

Everyone loved these, even after they had heard that there was grape jelly in them. Thanks for the DELICIOUS recipe!

Meatballs were amazing! I got so many compliments on them, even from people who normally don't like meatballs at all. Thumbs up. The sauce was really liked too, but to my taste a little too sweet.

I have been using this recipe since the 70's taken from a certain iconic lady's cookbook with the initials "BC". My extended family always requests I bring this on holiday get-togethers (in the crockpot of course). Men and kids love it!

These were a hit at our New Years party, and they re-heat very well. I used frozen Italian meatballs as some had said and that made it very simple and quick to make.

A good recipe. The house smelled great making them and homemade is always better than frozen. My guests didn't eat these up, though. Now I'm wishing I'd done a bbq style so the leftovers would make good subs.

These really are that good. These were suppose to be an appetizer...we had an expensive honeybaked ham at our Christmas Eve buffet...but people ate the meatballs instead...they were putting them on rolls for sandwiches, eating them with crackers...all gone....who knew these would be so fabulous? Used frozen Italian meatballs from Costco, cut down the jelly by 1/2 cup, used 2 tbsp Worchester sauce, 1 tsp. mustard powder. Mixed the jelly mixture on the stove until hot, then poured it on the meatballs in a crockpot. Took the hour journey to our party, and put it on high for 2 hours and they were perfect. This recipe is a keeper!

Great meatballs. I used 1 jar of salsa & 1 can of cranberry sauce and added 2 T. black raspberry jam. LOTS of compliments. Very Christmas-y!

Great basic meatball recipe - very tasty! Did not fry - I baked them in the oven at 375 for 15 minutes.

These are good, but I'll stick to my favorite version of this recipe...add 1 can jellied cranberry sauce to the chili sauce and grape jelly. It gives it a sweet and sassy flavor.

These were great! I had a similar recipe at a our annual cocktail party that another guest always brought and I wanted to recreate it. This did the job! I didn't make the meatballs from scratch, but just mixed the jelly and chili sauce together with frozen 'homestyle' meatballs. Everyone at my holiday party was raving over it!

I've made these twice now and they were a hit both times. I decreased the amount of grape jelly to 3/4 cup which helps bring down the sweetness.

These were good, but a little too sweet. I used the pre-made meatballs from BJ's freezer section, so it took just a matter of minutes to put everything together and throw in the crockpot. I warmed it on low for a few hours until our party.
