Ingredients for Barbeque Glazed Meatballs

  • Grape Jelly
  • Barbecue Sauce
  • 2 pounds pre-cooked meatballs (your favorite brand or homemade)

How to Make Barbeque Glazed Meatballs

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup grape jelly.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the jelly is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and combined (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add 2 pounds of pre-cooked meatballs to the saucepan.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are heated through and coated in the glaze, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. For serving: Serve immediately or keep warm in a slow cooker on low for up to 2 hours.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
