How to Make These Crockpot Meatballs

You'll Need:

• 1 (14 ounce) bottle ketchup


• 1 (10 ounce) jar grape jelly


• 2 Tablespoons brown sugar


• 1/2 of a medium onion, finely diced


• 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar


• 1 (32 ounce) bag of frozen meatballs

Directions:

• Combine the first five ingredients in a large sauce pan. Stir well to combine and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil (it will spatter, that's why I recommend a deep pan).



• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.



• Place frozen meatballs in a slow cooker. Pour sauce over meatballs and stir to coat all meatballs.



• Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. If you can, move the meatballs around once or twice so the meatballs on the top are moved to the bottom.

A note from the cook: I often make a quadruple batch of the sauce (I buy large bottles of ketchup and jelly at Costco) and freeze the sauce in several containers to save myself time before another party. If you do this, thaw the sauce before pouring it over the meatballs. Costco also sells 6 pound bags of meatballs, and I can usually fit about 5 pounds in my slow cooker at once.
