- 1 bag 32 oz frozen meatballs
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1 cup chili sauce
- Finely chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish (optional)
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine grape jelly and chili sauce. Stir gently until the jelly has fully melted and blended with the chili sauce, creating a glossy, smooth mixture.
Add the frozen meatballs directly into the saucepan. Stir so each meatball is evenly coated in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the meatballs simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse the meatballs with sweet and tangy flavor.
Once heated through, transfer the meatballs to a serving bowl. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
