These barbecue grape-jelly meatballs are meatballs smothered in a sauce of sweet grape jelly, barbecue sauce, hot sauce and ketchup. They're sweet, salty and incredibly tender after their long cook time in the slow cooker. You can serve them right from the slow cooker or stack them on toothpicks for easy finger food.

Roll into 48 (1-inch) balls and place on a large rimmed baking sheet. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the meatballs; cook, turning often, until evenly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining meatballs. Set the skillet aside (do not wipe clean). Whisk barbecue sauce, grape jelly, ketchup and hot sauce together in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Add the sauce mixture to the hot skillet and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker; gently stir to combine. Cover and cook on Low until the sauce thickens and coats the meatballs and a thermometer inserted into the meatballs registers 160°F, 3 to 4 hours. Garnish with chives, if desired.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
