  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chili sauce and grape jelly until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs and gently stir to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, stirring once or twice, until heated through and the sauce thickens.

Stir once or twice during cooking for even coating.

Can be kept warm on the slow cooker’s warm setting for serving.
