Grape Jelly Meatballs



These little meatballs make a satisfying dinner when served with rice and a salad, but they would also be a great party appetizer. At approximately 1.5 points per meatball with sauce, they are a great way to control portion size.


Serves 12 ( 5 meatballs with sauce = 8 points + )



  • 1 bag frozen homestyle meatballs ( with roughly 60 meatballs per bag)
  • 1 jar ( 12 oz) chili sauce ( I usually find this in the ketchup aisle)
  • 1 jar ( 16 oz) grape jelly
  • rice (optional- ½ c. = 3 points + )



Place meatballs, chili sauce and rice in a crock pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-4 hours or until jelly is melted and meatballs are heated through.

    1. The meatballs are not overly sweet, but they are on the sweeter side.

  2. I substitute the chile saunce for bbq, would that change the point value?

  3. Yes! Barbecue overpowers the grape flavoring!😏
