GRAPE JELLY SLOW-COOKER MEATBALLS



Grape Jelly Slow-Cooker Meatballs image

Many versions of this dish live on the Internet and for good reason-it's quick, easy and a real crowd pleaser. We find some of them a bit too cloying though, so we scaled down the jelly and added a little acidity and heat in the form of Dijon mustard, cider vinegar and hot sauce to create the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. We use beef meatballs, but you can substitute turkey or veggie ones.

Time 3h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups chili sauce, such as Heinz
1 cup grape jelly
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
One 32-ounce bag frozen cocktail-size beef meatballs

Steps:

  • Stir together the chili sauce, jelly, mustard, vinegar and hot sauce in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the meatballs and stir to coat with the sauce. Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours.

Time 1h

Yield 8 entree servings or 16 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 medium onion
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
8 ounces ground pork
One 10.75-ounce can condensed cream of tomato soup
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef stock
1/2 cup grape jelly
1/4 cup finely ground graham crackers
1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh curly parsley

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil, then place a wire rack over it.
  • Grate the onion into a large bowl using a box grater. Add the ground beef and pork, tomato soup, panko, mustard powder, pepper, salt and minced garlic and knead together with your hands until thoroughly mixed. Use a tablespoon to help you make small meatballs, placing them close together but not touching on the prepared sheet pan. Bake until well browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Melt the butter a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the flour until no raw bits are visible, then continue cooking for another minute. Whisk in the beef stock 1/2 cup at a time, allowing it to thicken between each addition, then whisk in the grape jelly until smooth. Cook until the sauce begins to bubble, then add the graham cracker crumbs, ketchup and vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs to the saute pan and gently toss to coat. Cook for another 3 minutes, then transfer to a chafing dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.
