Crock pot meatballs

[DisneyPhD]

Hi all. I was all set to do crock pot meatballs for an afternoon snack around here tmw. Well it turns out I have grape jelly, but not chili sause. Tons of other sauses, not chili.

Any ideas for substations or another way to do them.

I have a jar of sweat and sour sause and a can of crushed pineapple. I was thinking about doing that. Any other ideas, or should I add more to that? A dash of soy sause maybe?

Any ideas? Got to make do with what I have, not going to the store at this point.

I think the sweet and sour sauce with pineapple and a dash of soy sauce sounds delicious! Some of my best meals/recipes were created when I had to search through the pantry for ideas/ingredients.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (16-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
Pinch sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Throw it all in the crock pot with the meatballs and cook until meatballs are done.

I just pour BBQ sauce over the meatballs and heat. Yummy!

I like to make a sauce for meatballs using a whole can of pineapple including the juice, ketchup, a little water to thin the sauce and some hot sauce.

I use pizza sauce and apple or grape jelly. They turn out yummy!

Equal parts ketchup and brown sugar make a tangy/sweet sauce. Its really tasty.

I'm probably too late because I'm in a different time zone, but I got this yummy recipe for sweet and sour meatballs here. 1c brown sugar, 1/2 c vinegar, 1/2 c bbq sauce, 1 T Worcestershire sauce, 1 T prepared mustard. boil for 5 minutes, pour over meatballs and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

A jar of Italian Sauce?

do you have a can of cream of mushroom soup or a jar of spagetthi sauce, either one of those would be ok.

Thanks everyone. I think I have everything else, just not the Chili sause so I should be good for something. (or a little of everything.)

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope it is a good one.
