SLOW COOKER COCKTAIL MEATBALLS

These slow cooker cocktail meatballs are a family favorite!  We love to serve them at Christmas parties, New Years Eve, Super bowl Parties and any time we are having a party where we want delicious food that can feed a crowd.  These cocktail meatballs are always a hit and never last long!  They cook in the slow cooker for a few hours which really helps the flavors come together and makes them an easy way to serve.  You can either keep them in the slow cooker or plate them in a fancy bowl with some extra dipping sauce on the side.

We always make a batch of homemade meatball but if you are short on time you can always pick up a bag of frozen meatballs 🙂  You only need a few simple ingredients to make these meatballs and although at first the ingredients may seem weird to put together they come together perfectly! 

INGREDIENTS FOR SLOW COOKER MEATBALLS

  • Grape Jelly
