Having a big gathering anytime soon? Then this little appetizer recipe is perfect to serve. The fact that they cook in a crock pot is a plus. A lot less fuss and while these tasty meatballs are cooking you can be getting the rest of the appetizers and dinner entrees ready leaving the stove top and oven free. It takes a little bit of the grape through wine and jelly to set the flavor for these meatballs. It may sound a bit odd but the mixture is nothing that you have tasted before. Neither of these ingredients stand out alone when tasting the meatballs. They are the ideal appetizer for a large crowd.
Ingredients:
- 2 (15 ounce) bottles of spicy ketchup
- 2 cups of blackberry wine
- 2 (12 ounce) jars of grape jelly
- 2 pounds of frozen precooked meatballs
Directions:
- Heat the ketchup, wine and jelly in the crock pot on high.
- Once the mixture is hot, add the meatballs and stir to coat all the meatballs.
- Cover the pot and cook on high for 4-6 hours.
- Transfer meatballs to a serving platter and party!
- Enjoy!
Suggestions:
- For a less potent party meatball batch use 1 cup of wine with 1 cup of water.
- To spice these party meatballs a little more just add a little hot sauce over individual servings.
- This appetizer recipe can serve up to 20 people.
- Make sure there are plenty of napkins and toothpicks handy for your guests.
