I’m lazy sometimes. I know, I know. It’s hard to believe. But I work a zillion hours a day, a million days a week, and then I cook dinner every night. Some nights, I just need a little help from my favorite time saver: frozen meatballs.

That’s what I use in this sweet and spicy jelly meatballs recipe.

Seriously, frozen meatballs are one of my favorite things ever. They’re the appetizer that you will make for every single party from here on out. I promise you.

They’re based on the popular grape jelly meatballs. Those are okay, but they’re so sweet. I don’t love them, but I love how simple they are. So I created my own sweet and spicy version, and it’s incredible.

Sweet And Spicy Jelly Meatballs Ingredients:

• 1 cup original BBQ sauce
• 1 cup red pepper jelly
• 1 tablespoon chili paste
• 20 oz. bag fully cooked frozen cocktail meatballs

How To Make Sweet And Spicy Jelly Meatballs:

Heat the BBQ sauce, red pepper jelly, and chili paste over medium heat. Stir until combined.

Put in the meatballs and heat until they are cooked through, about 20 minutes (be sure to check your package because cooking times can vary).

The sauce will bubble. That’s okay. Just be sure to keep stirring.

Stir the meatballs in the sauce until they are fully coated.

Serve warm.
