sounds good. Are these pretty moist? How much fat?

They are pretty moist and tasty but i'm not sure how much fat. I just found the recipe from a crock pot recipe book and it doesn't list the nutritional info. sorry. they are good though.

This is similar to the ones I make. I use a frozen pkg of frozen meatballs (homestyle), 2 jars of chili sauce and 1 jar of grape jelly. I've even made it with low sugar jelly and it was good.

I do something similar but use the "Lil Smokies" with 1 bottle of any BBQ Sauce, 1/2 jar of Grape Jelly and a Jigger of Whiskey (like Crown Royal, Jack Daniels etc). Cook on low for 3 hours in crock pot.

Jar of grape jelly and a bottle of catsup works too.

Can you buy the meatballs already made? That is convenient!

Do they have these at Walmart, and if so, where?

My family changed the grape jelly to apple jelly (we actually just made this for the holidays and used dickinson's apple cinnamon jelly) - oh my gosh were they ever good!! The flavors just melded and were so tender.:Yawn:

I get mine from Walmart. I think the brand name is Rosina...I get the homestyle, but they also have italian and sweedish too I think.

That sounds really good!! I've got meatballs in the slow cooker now...I wish I had some of the apple jelly. Did you use apple jelly and chili sauce??

[kcmagu 3]

Yes apple jelly and chili sauce - who knew goodness could be so easy :biggrin:

Thanks, I'll have to try that next time!

Where in Walmart are these already made meatballs? Are they by the frozen dinners?

For those of you who have made this what kind or brand of chilie sauce did you use. I just made it today. My wifed picked up some sort of asian style sweet chile sauce. It turned out ok but was not something to get excited over. I would like something that had some more kick to it. Over all this could be a good food. It went down very easy.

As someone who's watching fat AND sugar, these sound nummy (especially with the apple jelly!), but too high in sugar for me.

Guess I could try fiddling around with lower-sugar/Splenda-ized versions of this ...
