How to Make Sweet Chili Meatballs Crockpot
Start by placing the frozen homestyle meatballs directly into your crockpot. Spread them out evenly for best results.
Pour the sweet red chili sauce generously over the meatballs. This will create that delicious glaze as it cooks.
Add the grape jelly and drained pineapple tidbits; give everything a gentle stir to combine the flavors beautifully.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on high for 1-2 hours or on low for 3-4 hours.
Stir occasionally during cooking to ensure the meatballs are evenly coated in that glossy sauce.
Once cooked, serve the meatballs hot with tongs or a serving spoon.
Optional garnish with chopped green onions for an extra pop of flavor. Store leftovers submerged in sauce for maximum moisture.
