GRAPE JELLY MEATBALLS

I think this is my most requested recipe.  People find it hard to believe the recipe is so simple.

Frozen meatballs - plain or Italian style - I like to use the 1" size (1/2 oz each) - I think the bags are 1 1/2 or 2 pounds
Grape jelly 
Ketchup


Cook the meatballs in a casserole dish in the microwave until they are hot, 4 or 5 minutes.
Transfer meatballs to crockpot.  Add equal amounts of grape jelly and ketchup (I usually start with 1 cup of each, adding more if it seems like it needs it) and stir to combine.  Cook on low and stir occasionally, until the sauce is well mixed and everything is hot.  Since the meatballs are already cooked and heated in the microwave, an hour or two in the crockpot is usually fine.
