You only need 5 simple ingredients to create this delicious appetizer and let the slow cooker do the rest of the job.

Meatballs - We recommend using frozen meatballs made of pork, beef, and chicken from your local grocery store. Feel free to choose your favorite frozen meatballs for this recipe. You can use chicken or turkey meatballs too.

Grape Jelly - Any brand of grape jelly will do, but we like to use Smucker's grape jelly.

Chili Sauce - Adjust the amount according to your preferred level of spiciness. Any chili sauce that you have will work.

Barbecue Sauce - Our go-to choice for this recipe is Sweet Baby Ray's original BBQ sauce.

Garlic Powder - Just a touch adds a chili-garlic elevated flavor to the meatballs.
