I wanted to make cocktail meatballs, but the only ingredient I didn't have was chili sauce- so I was excited about this idea. I used frozen meatballs, the grape jelly and ketchup, but then took suggestions, and added tabasco, mustard, and chili powder (to taste with all). pretty good!

good but I added a couple dashed of tabasco sauce. I have made this same thing with meatballs - better with meatballs.

My mom's friend make something similar to this with meatballs. I used the suggestions of others and added some Worcestershire sauce. It isn't quite like hers, but it was still delicious

I made this basically how reviewer Emmeline did. I used Old Bay instead or garlic powder. It turned out rather like spicy bbq sauce. Also I used jam not jelly. I served it over egg noodles. It was okay - the family ate it.

I have made a variation of this recipe numerous times for potlucks and parties. I always use frozen meatballs, grape jelly, and a jar of chili sauce. It always gets eaten right up, and I always get asked for the recipe when I make it. I have never used it with ketchup, I imagine that would be much sweeter than the chili sauce. Try it my way, it's fantastic.

I like this sauce better with meatballs, not on the kielbasa. I took this to a party and two people sugested I use 2 sm jars of currant flavored jelly and 2 table spoons yellow mustard. I will give that a try, but I would not make this sauce with kielbasa again.

it was really good... i also used this as a base recipe, taking someone else's advice on here. i ended up using 1 cup ketchup, 3/4 cup grape jelly, 1/4 spicy brown mustard, 1 1/2 TBSP A1 sauce (i didn't have any Wostershire), 2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 3 TBSP BBQ sauce (used KC Masterpiece). I also let it cook much longer than 30 minutes... as long as you stir it frequently, the sauce just thickens (and gets better, in my opinion). this would be a great recipe for a party! thanks for the ideas!

Awesome recipe!!! So quick to throw this together and it goes well with meatballs. The sauce is great over rice also. I have been asked many times for this recipe and everyone is surprised that all it takes is grape jelly and ketchup. Thanks for posting this one.

This is a really good BASE recipe. For people without a severe sweet tooth, this could definitely be way too much sweet, with not enough spice. However, I altered this slightly, to compensate, and found this wonderful combo. I only used 1 pound of Kielbasa, so keep that in mind. What ended up in the sauce was: 1 cup ketchup, 3/4 cup grape jelly, 1/4 spicy brown mustard, 1 1/2 TBSP Wostershire, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 3 TBSP savory BBQ sauce(I used America's Choice Kansas City Style). The result is currently disappearing from the pan, it never made it to a dish. Thanks for a good starter recipe!
