 I prepared this recipe on the stove top but it can also be cooked in your slow cooker. Combine Ocean Spray Jellied Sauce and Heinz Chili Sauce in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat then add the meatballs. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally.
