3 Ingredient Meatballs is one of those super easy meals that you will add to your cooking repertoire from now on. These are perfect for any party to add a tasty and filling but inexpensive meat to the menu or piled on top of a bed of rice for an easy weeknight dinner.
I love easy recipes, don’t you!
One of my clients shared this recipe with me many years ago. She was an older and much wiser lady with whom I enjoyed visiting. I cleaned her home for many years, more than 12. Over that time we shared quite a few interesting conversations about anything and everything in life. She shared this recipe with me one Christmas when she was preparing this dish for a Christmas party.
- 1 bag (14-16 oz.) of frozen meatballs
- 1 8 oz. jar of grape jelly
- 1 12 oz. jar of chili sauce
- Mix the jelly and chili sauce together in the crock pot.
- Stir in the meatballs, no need to thaw first.
- Cook on low for about 3 hours.
- Serve and enjoy!
If you are using this recipe for a crowd, simply double or triple the ingredients depending on the size of your crowd. You can easily cook these on top of the stove rather than in the crockpot. I like using the crockpot for the convenience when making these for a party.

Just one question: What size bag of frozen meatballs?
Shirley Wood says
It is typically a 14-16 oz. bag. The recipe has been updated to reflect that information! Thanks for asking.

This is a great recipe. We have them at pretty much every party. Someone always asks, “Who’s bringing the meatballs?” Definitely a favorite!

Sounds great but we don’t have grape jelly here – wonder what else i could use ? – Thanks for linking up to Pin Worthy Wednesday, I have pinned your post to the Pin Worthy Wednesday Pinterest Board.

No grape jelly? I love learning little tidbits from other lands. I’m at a bit of a loss but I suspect there would be a sufficient substitute to achieve a similar flavor profile. It’s certainly an easy and tasty dish. Thanks for stopping by.

Yum! If I had a dollar for every time I’ve taken these babies to a church potluck! Seems that everyone likes these once they’ve tasted them. Sometimes, I’ll put these in the crockpot with barbecue sauce and have meatball subs with pepper jack cheese. I think this is one staple that should be in the freezer at all times. Yum again!
Shirley Wood says
Ain’t that just the truth, Alli. Those 3 ingredients should ALWAYS be on hand!
