In honor of our upcoming wedding anniversary, I thought I would share the Worlds Best Crock Pot Meatballs aka Grape Jelly Meatballs Recipe! That we served at our wedding. We made a giant crock pot of these meatballs, and they were the first thing gone!
These meatballs are so easy to make! We were given the recipe by an amazing Safeway bakery employee before our wedding. We were pricing a few items at Safeway and trying to finalize what we would be making for the wedding. She asked if we needed help and we explained what we were working on. She got so excited and told us we had to make these grape jelly meatballs. She promised they would be amazing, and everyone would love them. She was so right!
We self-catered the majority of our wedding food with my Mom. I am not sure this is something I suggest, but I was able to make sure the food I really wanted was at the wedding which was great. Running around with curlers in my hair making sure everything looked right…well that was a site I am sure.
These meatballs take about 10 seconds to set up and then you just sit back and let the crock pot do the work.
I can’t believe that our five year wedding anniversary is next week. The past five years have flown by so quickly. I am so lucky/blessed to have an amazingly supportive husband who doesn’t mind having his photo shared all over the blog. John is one of my biggest supporters and pushes me every day to work harder and dream bigger. I know I would not be the person I am today or the blogger I am today without his help, support, guidance, and encouragement. I can’t even put into words how much my Husband means to me and how much I can’t wait for the next 50+ years.
I wish I had more photos of our wedding food. Somehow the food was inhaled faster than it was photographed. I told myself that I could not walk around in my wedding dress taking pictures of food. I am pretty sure John would have shaken his head, and our wedding guests would have teased me for years if I walked around taking pictures of the food. I will admit to thinking about it, though.

I had these growing up. These things are amazing and so easy to make. We used to make them in a crock pot. They are the best and also work good for parties.
Wow! I was a little bit skeptical but I needed an easy recipe (and boy is this easy!) for an upcoming Crocktoberfest. These are amazing! Currently consuming delicious first batch that won’t be making it to the party. Oh well. Maybe the second batch will!
To funny . They are good for sure. We always use 1 bottle Heinz Chili sauce versus Barbacue, but sure they would be good either way.
Yum
The grape is good, but try it with a can of cranberry jelly instead. Saw that in BHG cookbook and love that glaze. I also use the cocktail sauce instead of BBQ. Easy and delish!
what size jar of jelly?
I think the amount of jelly and BBQ sauce should be equal or nearly equal, so use that as a guide for how much jelly to use. When I did them with Chili Sauce, it was about the same ounces of jelly as sauce.
You can also use the jelly and a bottle of Chili Sauce; that’s the way I learned to make these, but am now eager to try them with BBQ sauce! Yum!
How many meatballs does this make?
I also add a little crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
An entire bag of frozen (Iapprox.30 to 40
I use grape jelly and sweet chili sauce from the Chinese section in the store. It adds some heat. I rarely ever have any leftovers. I just keep tasting and adding till I get the right balance.
What size crockpot do you use?
Dude! I am getting married in 2.5 weeks and I have PRAYED to find easy crockpot recipes that my husband will eat!! THANK YOU!!!!

What sized jar of jelly did you use? Thanks!
