These Raspberry Red Pepper Jelly Meatballs are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The convenience of using frozen meatballs and the slow-cooker method makes this appetizer a breeze to prepare, while the raspberry jam and chili sauce deliver a unique flavor that everyone will love.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 18 servings

Ingredients

  • Main Ingredients:
  • 56 oz frozen meatballs (either Italian or Swedish style)
  • 24 oz chili sauce
  • 11 oz raspberry jam
  • 8 1/2 oz red pepper jelly
  • 4 oz orange juice

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen meatballs, chili sauce, raspberry jam, and red pepper jelly into a large crockpot.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of orange juice into each empty container of chili sauce to loosen any remaining sauce, then pour the sauce into the crockpot.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  4. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra Spice: Add more chili sauce, chili powder, or cayenne pepper if you want a spicier kick.
  • Homemade Meatballs: You can use homemade cooked meatballs instead of frozen. If using cooked meatballs, reduce the cooking time to 1-2 hours as they’re already cooked.
