Crockpot Grape Jelly Meatballs

Submitted by: Kaley

2 Bottles Chili Sauce
10 oz. Grape Jelly
3 lbs. Ground Beef

Make meatballs (onion, catsup, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, eggs, etc.).
Put chili sauce and jelly in crockpot, melt jelly well.
Put in meatballs and turn occasionally.
Simmer on low for 3 hours or until meatballs are done.

If you don't want to make the meatballs frozen ones work just fine.
