  • Stir the jelly, chili sauce, and cayenne together until the mixture is evenly combined and smooth.
  • Add 2 pounds frozen meatballs to the sauce and stir gently to coat all the meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, stirring once about halfway through to redistribute the sauce and meatballs.
  • After 4 hours, confirm the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is hot, then serve.
