These are soooooo good! My husband and daughter loved them as much as I did and it's not easy to find something all of us like! We had a package of frozen meatballs in the freezer that we didn't like (a different brand than we normally buy) and I decided I would use them up at an upcoming potluck so I came here to look for ideas. When I came across this recipe I read it aloud to my husband and he kept saying "grape jelly?" We were very curious so he asked me to make them a head of time. He couldn't believe I used the same meatballs that he didn't like previously when I used them with speghetti. Anyway - other than using frozen meatballs I followed the recipe exact and I highly recommend. Thank you!

OMG! I just made these meatballs with a few modifications, (used frozen turkey meatballs, sugar free jelly, and added 2 tbsp mustard) and I can't keep myself away from the pan! I will definitely serve these at the next party, yet add a bit of tabasco for some kick.

I took advice from others advice and used frozen italian meatballs. I also used the whole bottle of chili sauce. These were great, took them to a potluck and they were the first thing finished. Thank you for this easy recipe.

Quick and easy for an appetizer buffet. Homemade meatballs are a must to enhance the flavors in the sauce. I use sugar free jelly to cut the sweetness. Thanks for sharing.

Usually I just use the bag of pre made and cooked meatballs and a couple jars of Chili Sauce. Thought I would try something a bit different for a New Years Eve party. The jelly...did NOT do it for me, one of the guests actually spit it up!! Im still so embarassed...some people liked it but it wasnt a big hit.

I love meatballs...this recipe is fine...except for draining the grease. LEAVE THE GREASE! Meat tastes good because there's fat in it. Drain the fat and your meatballs get dry and chewy...simmer in fat and they be moist. You don't drink it...just cookin' with it man. Let me say it another way...fat is a GOOD thing.

Delicious! I used frozen meatballs and turned out great. I also used the entire jar of jelly (18oz) and the whole bottle of chili sauce. Put in the crockpot on low for about 90 minutes. They went fast!

I made these meatballs for a Super Bowl Party and they came out great. Everyone wanted the recipe. I made my own italian meatballs and used one jar of Heinz chili sauce and one jar of Smuckers grape jelly with 2 tab. of Nance's Sharp and Creamy mustard. I cooked the sauce ingredients on the stove top until well blended and bubbly and then put the meatballs after they were cooked in the oven into my crockpot and poured the sauce on top and let them cook on low for 3 hrs. Perfect. They were tasty and moist. You just have to remember to give them a stir into the sauce every once in a while if they're not already gone by then.

Everyone always likes these. Not my fav, but OK, When pinched for time I use the frozen meatballs, but in interest of health I usually make my own metballs, using 97% lean ground beef and 1-lb of ground lean turkey. I use the whole bottle of chili sauce. I dont use the mustard and add 3 tbsp's brown sugar & use sugar free grape jelly. It costs a little more this way, but if you are more health conscious, like I am, then it is worth it! I put the sauce ingredients in a blender then pour over meatballs and cook in the crock pot on high for 4 hours! (Stirring occassionally)

Used the sauce ingredients and Armour meatballs. So easy and everyone loved them! It was hard to stop eating them they were so tasty and it just doesn't get any easier. I think the hardest part was finding chili sauce! Thanks for sharing!!

Delicious recipe! In the interest of time, I bought pre-made Italian meatballs from the frozen food section and they turned out wonderful! My guests raved and there was not one meatball leftover! Thanks for the terrific recipe!!

Awesome. I used frozen Italian meatballs to save time, and added a *little* extra chili sauce. These were excellent and made the house smell great too!
