Why people love them
Sweet grape jelly and tangy chili sauce sound like an odd pair, but together they make a glossy sweet-and-sour glaze, a bit like a mild barbecue sauce. Three store-bought ingredients and almost no hands-on time make it one of the easiest party foods there is, which is why it turns up at game days, potlucks and holiday buffets year after year.
Tips for serving a crowd
- Keep them warm: a slow cooker on its warm setting holds them for a party without drying them out. A small or medium cooker is plenty for one bag of meatballs; see what size slow cooker you need.
- Serve with toothpicks and a stack of small plates, so nobody needs a fork.
- Change the sauce: some cooks swap the chili sauce for barbecue sauce, or the grape jelly for another jelly. Our grape jelly meatball guide covers more of those versions.
- Leftovers: cool them quickly, keep them covered in the fridge and eat them within 3 to 4 days.
