8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen pre-cooked meatballs
- 15 ounces barbecue sauce any preferred variety
- 32 ounces grape jelly
Instructions
Prepare the sauce:
- In the base of a large slow cooker, add the barbecue sauce and grape jelly. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Add the meatballs:
- Place the frozen meatballs into the slow cooker. Gently toss or stir to ensure all meatballs are evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on the low setting for approximately 6 hours, or until the meatballs are fully heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Stir and serve:
- Before serving, stir once more to ensure the meatballs are evenly coated. Serve warm, either directly from the slow cooker or transferred to a serving dish as desired.
Notes
To prepare this dish gluten-free, be sure to select gluten-free frozen meatballs (many store-bought brands contain breadcrumbs with gluten). Additionally, confirm that both the barbecue sauce and grape jelly are labeled gluten-free, as some brands may contain additives or thickeners derived from wheat. Always read product labels carefully and avoid cross-contamination if preparing for someone with celiac disease.
