Great appetizer! I did cheat with the store bought meatballs, but nobody seemed to mind. They were so easy make. Just threw'em in the slow cooker.

I thought this recipe was easy to make. It was surprisingly tasty and was even better the second day. Although the meatballs did fall apart a bit, it's a great recipe that is sure to please! These would definitley fly off the plate at any party!

Excellent. The first time I made these the meatballs were too delicate and some fell apart so I increased the bread crumbs to the same amount I use for the meatballs in spaghetti. I used frozen once and they just weren't as good. I also squeeze some lemon juice into the sauce. I have been asked to bring these to several functions and they are always a hit. When people comment on these it's fun to tell them what's in the sauce, they never believe it. I

Very good!!! Used frozen meatballs and turned out Wonderful! Put them in a warm crockpot for serving. The only thing wrong with using the frozen meatballs is that they retain to much moisture which means trying to eat these the next day was not the great, but they are wonderful in eaten within a few hours.

Yummy! Very easy to make, and just what I was looking for!! I cheated however, and used frozen meatballs, instead of my own, and it turned out great! Even good the next day, out of the microwave!

Wonderfully tangy meatballs. I bake (rather than fry) the meatballs on a cookie sheet up to 2 weeks ahead of time and freeze them. On the day I am serving them, I dump the chili sauce and grape jelly in a crock pot. Then, add the meatballs straight from the freezer. If you do this, you will need to start the crock pot on HIGH setting at least 1 1/2 hours before eating. Ready to eat when liquid is simmering. These go quickly!!!! (You may substitute pre-packaged frozen meatballs to save on time).

My grandfather used to make meatballs like this when I was little...I searched and searched for a recipe good enough to follow his tradition, and THIS IS IT! I have made these meatballs for holiday parties, baby showers, birthday parties, or just to eat myself, and they are always a huge hit. I use the frozen meatballs, they always come out terrific. I also cook them in the crock pot, as suggested. It takes a little while for the sauce to congeal, but it is awesome, excellent. This recipe is fool-proof! Thank you Jennie!

YUMMY, Used frozen meatballs and cooked them in a crock pot most of the day. Served them in the evening and the sauce had thickened up perfectly. My guests loved them. I will definitely make these again.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!! I cannot tell you how good these were! I took them to a christmas party last night and I got tuns of compliments on them. I loved them myself. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. I only had about 9 meatballs left in my pot when it was all said and done and the only reason for that is because there was so much other foods there. I put them in the crock pot but did so too late so to speed things up I put the sauce and the meatballs(frozen homestyle) into a pot on the stove and slow boiled them for about 30 minutes and then put them in the crock pot to take to the party. They were perfect, great taste and great texture! Don't try the sauce when you first put them it because its gross but when everything cooks together its wonderful. Take my word for it, TRY THIS RECIPE!!!

I have used this "secret" recipe for years and it always gets rave reviews. It is the most requested dish at family gatherings. I always start with a big bag of frozen meatballs from whatever warehouse type store we belong to at the moment. Throw them in the crockpot frozen, dump the jars in and about 1-1 1/2 hrs later it is ready to eat. Never a disappointment. I also like them reheated...Yum...

I have made this a few times. We really like it! Especially good for potlucks using frozen meatballs, although the meatballs cool down fast. (Better to plug in crock pot when you arrive) There are a few chili sauces to choose from. I find it is best with a spicier chili sauce; as opposed to those sauces that are more tomato based. I like Bennetts chili sauce. Thanks for a great and quick recipe!

mmm mmm good!! I made this recipe, and it is sweet, but oh so good! The flavor is almost addictive. For leftovers I bought some good hoagie bread, swiss cheese slices, and slapped some cocktail meatballs w/its sauce, heated it up in oven for just the cheese to melt, top off w/shredded lettuce...OH MY GOODNESS! FINGER-LICKIN' GOOD. Thanks!

After all the reviews of this recipe, I had to try it. Very odd combination. Took to lunch and everyone liked, but a little sweet. NOT good at all reheated the same night. Will not make again because this doesn't keep well and although different, I can think of better ways to cook meatballs.
