Expert Tips
Many People use grape jelly for this recipe. We used strawberry but you can try this with any flavor you like. Just make sure there aren’t any seeds.
Frozen meatballs are pre-cooked so you don’t have to worry about undercooked raw meat, but still, make sure you check on them frequently so they are cooked to your liking. Different crockpots cook at different speeds and you don’t want your meatballs overdone (Unless you like them like that).
These Jelly Meatballs are only three ingredients and requires almost no prep time. Then let the crockpot do it’s magic. You’ll end up with tender and slightly sweet meatballs you will love!!
