Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 count frozen meatballs
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons optional chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the grape jelly, smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, hot sauce, pineapple juice, and brown sugar. Whisk together over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the frozen meatballs to the saucepan and fully coat each meatball in the sauce by gently stirring.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the meatballs are heated through and evenly glazed with the sauce.
Transfer the meatballs to a serving dish or keep them warm in a slow cooker on the 'low' setting if serving at a party.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color before serving.
Enjoy your Elvis Party Meatballs as a sweet and savory appetizer that everyone will love!
