3-Ingredient Crockpot Meatballs

The first time I ever tasted these gems was at a neighborhood summer potluck! I thought they were delicious and asked my friend Joann what the recipe was. She got this “guilty” look on her face and said, “Would you believe a jar of chili sauce, a jar of grape jelly, and a bag of frozen meatballs?” I laughed and said “If you say so! Regardless, they are DELICIOUS!” And I think I ate about a dozen!

I have wanted to make this “recipe” ever since, and it wasn’t until I saw this recipe from Six Sisters’ Stuff that my memory was jogged about how good they are! These tasty meatballs are definitely on the menu for our New Year’s Eve noshing!
