Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds frozen pre-cooked meatballs
1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
1 (10 ounce) bottle chili sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Place the frozen meatballs into the basin of your slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the grape jelly, chili sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring gently halfway through.

You can substitute chili sauce with equal parts ketchup and a dash of hot sauce for a slight variation.
For best results when serving a crowd, keep the slow cooker on the WARM setting after the cooking time is complete.
