Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into evenly sized meatballs (about 1 to 1.5 inches).
- Combine the grape jelly and barbecue sauce in the slow cooker. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
- Gently add the meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat them evenly, using care to avoid breaking apart.
- Cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the meatballs are cooked through and tender. Stir gently once or twice during cooking if possible.
Notes
Use 80/20 ground beef for the best flavor. Substitute half the grape jelly with apricot preserves for less sweetness.
