Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 48 oz frozen meatballs
- 12 oz grape jelly
- 12 oz chili sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker or oven to 350°F, preparing for indirect heat if using a smoker. This allows the sauce to slowly thicken while adding extra flavor to the meatballs.
- Add the frozen meatballs to a large foil pan or baking dish. Pour the grape jelly and chili sauce directly over the top.
- Stir everything together thoroughly until all the meatballs are evenly coated in the sauce mixture. As the jelly heats, it will melt into the chili sauce creating a rich glaze.
- Place the pan onto the smoker or into the oven uncovered and cook for 2 hours. Stir the meatballs every 30 minutes so the sauce cooks evenly and thickens around the meatballs.
- Continue cooking until the sauce becomes glossy, sticky, and coats the meatballs completely. The meatballs should be heated through and tender.
- Remove from the heat and serve warm straight from the pan. These are perfect for parties, potlucks, and game day spreads.
