How to Make Grape Jelly and Coke Meatballs
Made with just 3 ingredients, these savory cocktail meatballs couldn’t be easier to make.
The best part is, you won’t have to miss any of the game spending time in the kitchen cooking. Just take 5 minutes to combine the ingredients in the crockpot before the game starts, and let the crockpot do all the work.
Ingredients
- 26-28 ounce frozen meatballs, cocktail size
- 18 ounce bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
Start by adding the frozen meatballs to the crockpot (no need to thaw).
Next, add BBQ sauce.

Then, pour Coca-Cola® over the meatballs.
Stir well to combine and cook on low 3-4 hours or high for 2-3 hours.

Serve warm, and enjoy!

Recipe Variations
- Switch it up – Experiment with different sauce profiles (mustard-based sauce, hickory, vinegar-based) to find what combo suits you best.
- Spice it up – Try adding sriracha, pepper sauce, or Worcestershire sauce to the recipe to add some spice to the flavor profile.
- Fancy it up – Slice meatballs in half and place on toasted bread to make meatball crostini. Top each with a pickle, chopped green onions, pineapple chunks, etc.
- Make your own slider bar – Leave the meatballs right in the crockpot and place it on a buffet table along with slider buns and coleslaw so your guests can make their own southern-style meatball sliders.

Could you slow cook these in the oven
I haven’t tried making these in the oven but I don’t see why you couldn’t! I would probably simmer the sauce ingredients on the stovetop first to help incorporate those flavors before adding the meatballs and sauce to a pan or casserole dish to heat up in the oven.
What can you use Coke zero?
I think that would be fine
can I use coke cherry?
I haven’t tried the recipe with cherry coke myself but I don’t see why not 🙂 Please come back to let us know how it comes out if you do decide to give it a try!
