Thanks for the quick and easy recipe I needed to find! Used frozen meatballs because it was a last minute request to bring something to the party. Put evertything together and cooked on low for 4 hours. Doubled the recipe and used about 130 frozen one inch meatballs. All were gone within a few hours.

Too sweet for us. I used bottled chili sauce, but if I made it again I would try my own. Either that or reduce jelly amount.

The base recipe is great--for an even greater dish, saute minced garlic, minced onion, and minced bell pepper before adding the chili sauce and grape jelly. Add sriracha (Thai hot sauce) and rice wine or white vinegar (I added both) in a small amount. Cook together to blend flavors. I also added cooked carrot puree, cooked butternut squash puree, and cooked cauliflower puree because husband doesn't eat vegetables. Undetectable! I added ketchup to the meat mixture before making meatballs and substituted onion powder for chopped onions (unless you saute the onions first, they will never get hot enough to become soft). I baked the meatballs and added to the sauce in the pan--picky husband loved. I have been looking for a great sweet and sour sauce for ages. This is it.

This is one for your recipe box! I overcooked them and they were still good. Im keeping this on hand so that I can bring these to a family gathering. We just ate them with a fork for dinner, and my worst critic, my 2 yr old, ate them without adding ketchup! That passes the test in our house!

This recipe is fantastic! Even my picky 7 year old gobbled them up. I did cheat though and used turkey meatballs from my local store, but the sauce was to die for. Also I didn't use a slow cooker, (mine is too big) I mixed everything in a pot it still came out fantastic.

This recipe was so tasty! The reason why I took off a star was because the recipe doesn't mention browning the meatballs first and so my meatballs fell apart in the slow cooker. Despite this, the flavor was really good and the meat cooked fine, I made a few changes. I seasoned the meat with some garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs and I also added some sriracha to the sauce to make it a bit spicier. Great recipe! Thank you!

OK-so I cheated as well and used frozen cooked meatballs from Costco..that being said 5 stars for the easiness and the delicious sauce. Will keep this recipe for future parties or potlucks. I cooked on low for 4 hrs or so and they were perfect. Tossed on some toasted hoagies and sprinkled mozz cheese on top...MMMMMMM! Doesn't get better than that. Even the kiddies enjoyed and asked to have again the next night.

Okay, I seen sweet and sour meatballs. It sounded like a great idea. I actually had 2 bottles of sweet and sour sauce. Figured I would make it a really easy meal. I made 2 lbs of meatballs, 2 bottles of sweet sour sauce mixed with 1 bottle of water, stuck in the crock pot for about 6 hours. i had errands to do. When I came home the house smelled so yummy. I put these over fried rice. Every one thought they tasted like salsbury steaks. Imagine that! They were good. Not quite my cup of tea though. Now what to do with the leftovers. Since I had almost a pound of them left, just sitting in the fridge, I put them in the sandwich maker on hot dog buns with shredded cheese inside. Now all together wow... 3 stars for the metballs, even though I didnt use grape jelly, 5 stars for the leftover sandwich filler. MMWWWAAHHH
