I use Mamma Lucia frozen meatballs (not the italian kind in the black bag but the ones in the brown bag), one whole bottle of chili sauce and about 12 ounces of grape jelly. I also add already minced garlic that you can find in the grocery store. I don't use the prepared mustard. Slow cooking these is the key. Otherwise, the flavor of the sauce won't infuse in the meatballs. Put in a slow cooker for about 3-4 hours and that's it. I made these for about 50 people at my mom's wedding reception a month ago and they were a huge hit!

very yummy and easy. I used frozen meatballs, sugar-free grape jelly (splenda), 1/2 a chopped and sauted onion, and chipotle hot sauce to taste. I like 'em sweet and spicy!

These were very good. I used frozen Swedish style meatballs from BJ's. They turned out great. I didn't get Italian because some reviews said the flavors don't mix well but these were great. I put them in a crockpot on low for 4 hrs.

We make these for our holiday party and people go nuts. They can't believe they are made with grape jelly. Be prepared to make 5x what you expect to feed the crowd!

Meatballs were a little tough. Will buy pre-made meatballs next time. Sauce was tasty though.

I tripled the recipe and took this to a big potluck at work. I LOVED the convenience of baking the meatballs in the oven. Talk about super EASY! I put the meatballs up on a wire rack in a big lined roasting pan, and a great deal of the fat had dripped off (healthier). However, when I made the sauce it had a bit too much mustard bite. So... I added about 2 T. brown sugar and that mellowed it out. Also... the meatballs would have been bland for my taste, so I add a few things to the raw meat prior to shaping the meat balls (salt, garlic powder and some pepper). It turned out wonderful! There was a LOT of food around and there was not ONE meatball left to take home...lol The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I had to alter the recipe a little ...but I feel it was 5 star once I added a couple extra things. I'd say it was a HUGE HIT!

Ridiculously easy...I almost feel guilty bringing this to a potluck because it takes NO time at all. And they are so yummy.

Everyone liked these meatballs and it was a very easy appetizer. I used store bought meatballs which were only OK, but the sauce was very good.

These are great! I made a batch once, then my sister and I went out, while we were gone my brother in law ate the whole batch! A lady at my church makes jalapeno jelly and it is REALLY good substituted for grape.

These are just like my grandma made. No one ever believed about the grape jelly. I did add about double the chili sauce.

Though I've had these many times, this was the first time I made them myself. I doubled the recipe and took them to a football party and they disappeared! Amazingly delicious, and so easy to make! I used frozen meatballs and extra jelly and chili sauce, so there was enough sauce to sop up with bread after the meatballs were gone! Awesome!

Made them in the crockpot for New Years' Eve and they were wonderful - even better the next day! The frozen pre-made meatballs work just as well going to the trouble of making your own, and sometimes even less expensive if you catch a sale! Even with the frozen you still use the same jelly/chili sauce/mustard quantities. Like another reviewer recommended I warmed the sauces in a pan on the stove to get the lumps out of the jelly and make it smooth, then poured it over the meatballs. Great recipe!

Wonderful! Everybody loves these. I used a 4 lb. bag of frozen meatballs, a 32 oz. jar of grape jam, a 12 oz. jar of chili sauce and 2 Tbsp. mustsard and 2 tsp. of liquid smoke. I just heated them on low until they were nice and hot! They will be great in a crockpot too!!

I too was skeptical about using grape jelly but it turned out great! I added a bit more chili sauce since for it to be a little less sweet. I also used the meatball recipe from Italian spaghetti and meatballs on allrecipes. I also did make the meatballs a bit smaller. Thanks for an easy, delicious recipes. I finally have something to bring to gatherings thats not cheese and crackers.

This is just the tastiest appetizer meatball recipe out there. My teen son has friends that request these! I use premade "homestyle" meatballs dumped into a crockpot with the remaining ingredients, and I'm done in literally 4-5 minutes. Not bad for something so good!
