Today is the last of my easy appetizer recipes. These easy orange glazed meatballs is a twist off of the original classic grape jelly/ketchup recipe. This recipe uses orange marmalade in place of the grape jelly. They are a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors in one bite-sized package.
It is made with frozen meatballs. So you only need 4 ingredients to make these easy orange glazed meatballs. If you prefer to make you own meatballs, feel free to do so. However, the convenience frozen meatballs makes this a breeze to make a batch of this with minimal effort. I used the frozen meatballs you can get from Sam’s Club.
Just add some frozen meatballs to a slow cooker. Add in some orange marmalade along with some ketchup and soy sauce. Stir it all together. Then cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 2 hours. These tender meatballs are bathed in a luscious and zesty orange glaze that’s quick to make. It makes them a perfect addition to your appetizer spread or a delicious topping for rice or noodles as a main dish. So simple to make for any holiday gathering.
