Great. I cheated though: I used Frozen meatballs from Costco. I put all the ingrediants in the crockpot and cooked on high for 4 hours. 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

I used frozen meatballs because it's so much easier! So...I did not know that the chili sauce was the stuff you find in the ketchup aisle. I therefore ended up using the Thai Chili sauce you find in the ethnic foods aise. This was SPICY in a serious way! Everyone loved it. The other way is yummy too, but if you want to set yourself on fire, make the same mistake I did!!

We didn't care for these at all. I won't be making these again. The crockpot dried out the meat way too much. I did like the flavor of the sauce. If it was cooked in a saucepan I may have liked it better.

I've never made meatballs before but decided to try this recipe as part of the first xmas brunch I've ever hosted for my family. Big hit. I doubled the recipes, meatballs and sauce; but with 6 people they went within the first 20 minutes! Simple yet yummy! Will make again...and often! Thanks for sharing.

This is really good. i made it a couple times now and everytime I've had rave reviews. I do alter the recipe a little. I add pineapple juice, which gives it a little extra flavor.

Wasn't to fond of these at all. For some reason the sauce just didn't do it for me.

These were fantastic! Although I did use frozen meatballs as I was pressed for time for a afternoon gathering. The leftovers went home with my daughter and her fiance, and he hoovered them up in a flash! Super Simple to make, toss everything into a slow cooker and in about 4 hours - PRESTO! Thanks for the AWESOME recipe, will DEFINITELY make again! Will be great at Christmas time for those inevitable get togethers!

I made this recipe once for an anual family potluck. I was told to not attend again unless I had this recipe with me. The grape jelly throws everyone off I think. My co-worker said it sounded gross so I brought her some and she retracted everything she said. For the chili sauce I used 'Maggi Chilli Garlic Sauce' and for the Grape Jelly I used 'Western Family Grape Jelly' (if you live in Canada - Yes I live in Canada) then Western Family is from Save-On-Foods or I'm sure any grape jelly will do. I hope everyone enjoys. P.S. - This recipe is REALLY spicy using the hot sauce I recommend.

These were ok but the recipe should state that the meatballs need to be browned before going in the slow cooker. We put over rice and doubled the sauce. I also added brown sugar.

My family and I were not crazy about this recipe at all. It's the flavors, the sauce is just too sweet, you can almost taste the grape jelly. I won't be making this again for my family.

Yay! Just like my mother's- yummy!!! Made these with my 3 year old's help and we loved them. Had to cook a little longer than stated probably due to meatball size- but fabulous with rice.

I am very fond of this meal. It's easy and fun. My kids and my husband like it well. The only thing I do differently is that instead of making my own meatballs, I buy the Italian style meatballs. They are perfectly seasoned for this dish. I also like to make these meatballs for appetizers with toothpicks inserted on each one for easy pickup.

My mom used to make this for us when I was a kid and I am so happy to have finally found the recipe. I made the meatballs with ground turkey rather then beef and so I added about 3/4 c of bread crumbs to firm up the meat consistency. Also, I didnt have time to do the crock pot thing so I browned the meatballs in the skillet, then added the sauce and let it simmer for about 30-45 min. and it still turned out soooo yummy. Thank you so much for bringing this recipe back to me!
