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!

Used this recipe as a base for my own simpler and easier way. I used store bought pre cooked frozen meatballs, placed them in the crockpot and used 1 entire squeezable grape jelly and 1 jar chili sauce then placed on high for 1 hour which was perfect. This recipe although modified was still really good and probably much easier than what was listed.

This was very good...because after reading the reviews I tweaked this recipe. I added 1 large clove of garlic(minced), 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper to the groung beef. It was still a little bland so I sprinkled salt + pepper into the sauce. I also used equal parts chili sauce and jelly. I will make this again and tweak the meatballs a little more. Overall a good recipe!

I made these for a New Years Eve Party and they were devoured. I used frozen meatballs to make things quicker. Then simmered the sauce on the stovetop and dumped everything into a crockpot.

These are ok for something quick but they seemed like they needed just a little bit of something extra - onions perhaps? Good in a pinch (kind of recipe to always have on hand). My 11 year old granddaughter loved them.

I prepared the meatballs slightly differently-I did not use the mustard. I cooked the meatballs in the grape jelly and chili sauce, and then kept them in a slow cooker until I served them. I also prepared the meatballs by using the Italian style breadcrumbs and egg.

Great recipe if you like ground beef covered in grape sauce. I made my own meatballs but added onion powder and worcestershire sauce. I also subsituted dijon mustard for prepared, as I was all out. I could hardly force this meal down.

This was really good, but i did have to add more chili sauce about equal to the grape jelly. It was really sweet thats why i did that. But after simmering with the meatballs WONDERFUL!!!I really enjoyed this, and i forgot to add the mustard, but it was soo good without it!

An old standard recipe I've been making these for at least 10 years. All you need is the grape jelly and chili sauce. The cranberry jelly sounds interesting. I'll probably try it the next time.

These are good, but I'll stick to my favorite version of this recipe...omit the prepared mustard and add 1 can jellied cranberry sauce to 1 bottle chili sauce and 6 oz. grape jelly. It gives it a sweet and sassy flavor.
