Scale
- 32 oz frozen fully cooked meatballs
- 24 oz jar pasta sauce
- 1 cup grape jelly

Instructions
- Step: Place the frozen meatballs directly into your crockpot.
- Step: Mix pasta sauce and grape jelly together, then pour over the meatballs.
- Step: Sprinkle in garlic powder if desired and stir to coat the meatballs evenly.
