These grape jelly and chili sauce glazed meatballs are the easiest appetizer recipe. Ever! Yet so tasty.
They have that sweet spicy combo going on that’s hard to pass up.
A two ingredient sauce makes these meatballs sing!
You only need to add two ingredients to your meatballs and you’re done. Start with frozen cooked meatballs or make you own, then stir in grape jelly and chili sauce. Heat and served right from your crockpot. Just put out some toothpicks and some small plates.
Make them vegetarian!
I made these glazed meatballs recently for a party and they were so easy and very yummy. I made a smaller batch with meatless “meatballs” for my vegetarian friends. Both versions were popular. Even some of the meat-eaters tried and liked the vegetarian batch. So, yes, this easy meatball appetizer recipe can be made meat free!
