Ingredients
- 48 ounce bag of fully cooked frozen Homestyle Meatballs
- 12 ounces sweet red chili sauce (we use Thai Kitchen)
- 20 ounces grape jelly
- 20 ounce can of pineapple tidbits drained
Instructions
- Place frozen meatballs in crockpot, add the spicy Thai chili sauce.
- Next, add in grape jelly.
- Then add in pineapple tidbits.
- Stir everything to combine.
- Cover and heat on high for 1-2 hour or low for 3-4 hours, uncover and stir everything again before serving.
Notes
- If using frozen meatballs, use the homestyle and not the Italian versions, the Italian version would alter the flavor of these meatballs.
- You can easily cut this recipe in half. I would recommend using a smaller 5-6 quart crockpot if you were going to do that.
- Make sure to periodically stir your meatballs throughout cooking to distribute the sauce.
- Turkey meatballs also work well in this recipe so you can always substitute that!
- You can make your own homemade meatballs if you'd like. See above for tips.
- The pineapple can be left out if desired, but I highly suggest adding it.
- These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
