Grape Jelly Meatballs Serving Suggestions:
We love to serve these right from the crockpot with a pile of toothpicks at parties, football games, etc. People grab a plateful of meatballs, pop in some toothpicks, and munch away!

A few other party favorites include our homemade pizza rolls, chili cheese dip, and Rotel dip!

For dinner, serve these over a pile of our Instant Pot mashed potatoes, a side of rice pilaf, or with some Amish egg noodles.

Tips & Notes:

We prefer homestyle meatballs but any variety will work fine here.
I’m a sucker for the classic grape jelly meatballs, but these are also very popular with canned cranberry sauce in place of the jelly.
You’ll find chili sauce near the ketchup in a glass bottle. We use Heinz brand, but the store brand will work fine too.
