These were fabulous! I made them for a church function and they were all gone. I used 70 Costco frozen meatballs (half the bag), 2-12oz jars of chili sauce (Food Lion brand was all I could get), 1.5 cups of grape jelly and almost one can of crushed pineapple! OMG good!!! I put them in the crockpot at 10am, and got home at 2pm. Cooked on low. They were done! The meatballs tasted like the frozen meatball I am used to. I didn't need them until 5pm though, so just left them on low to cook another two hours. Boy did this change them! They ended up SO tender and good, changed the taste to more of a homemade taste and the sauce was just perfect. Wasn't too thin at all, or too thick. Didn't taste BBQish to me at all, which I feared..not a fan. So, I will always just cook on low for 6 hours from now on.

I make a similar version except I use salsa 16 oz of salsa vs chili sauce and 16 oz of jelly or equal parts jelly to salsa if you use the store brought meatballs.

I browned the meatballs in the oven first to remove the fat and substituted the chili sauce with barbecue sauce. I omitted the lemon and threw it all in the crockpot at low for 2 hrs. Just as good as those prepared packaged meatballs.

I tried this one out of curiosity. Grape jelly and chili sauce. What!? It was soo good. The first time I did it I made the meatballs and the second I used frozen. Both were awesome. I did make a substitution. I think I read a review where they used pineapple juice instead of lemon. Well I took a can of pineapple chunks and dumped it in juice and all. When it was close to done I added constarch to thicken it. Now that is only because I added more liquid than the recipe called for. My family loved having pineapple as well as meatballs to eat with thier rice. This recipe is a keeper. It's also been a great way to get rid of this generic grape jelly I bought that is so sweet it's yucky. It's great in the recipe. Thanks for this one.

These meatballs were a hit! I personally didn't care for the sauce but I made these for a party and everyone loved them! I bought meatballs from costco(140ct) and doubled the sauce recipe. I browned the meatballs in a frying pan with crushed pineapple and onions. Tastes great without the sauce also!

Nice & easy, but the meat was really flavorless. Seems like it improved after being refrigerated for a day & also sitting in some spices I added to it in order to give it a more well-rounded flavor. It might be a great sauce with pre-made meatballs or some with a little more life.

Pretty good recipe. I will make again trying the following alterations; add some worchestershire sauce as well as a generous sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the chili sauce mixture.

Very easy to make. Has a BBQ-y taste. Good flavor, but a little greasy. Next time, I will finely mince the onions rather than chopping them. I served them over rice as our main dish.

This recipe is definitely a keeper. I rated this four stars simply because the meatballs were a little more sweet than sour. I would probably add an additional tsp of lemon juice. I also substituted using 1/3 cup Hot Garlic Chili sauce and 2/3 cup Ketchup. Overal this meal was great and will definitely make again. Thanks for submitting this recipe.

This recipe was good, and was very easy, however it seemed to be lacking something...not quite sure what though. I will make again, but less jelly, and maybe a different type of chili sauce.

I did not make my own meatballs (used a bag of frozen) but otherwise followed the recipe without any changes and they turned out great.
