Transfer store-bought meatballs into an aluminum pan, filling it about three-fourths full.

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of water around the meatballs to help steam them.

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to ensure good steaming.

Place the covered pan in the oven and steam the meatballs for 30 minutes.

In a separate pan over high heat, combine sweet chili Thai sauce, grape jelly, and brown sugar to create the sauce.

Stir the sauce until the grape jelly melts and the mixture is smooth, using a whisk for better blending.

Once the meatballs are steamed, remove the foil and check that they are browned but not overcooked.

Toss the browned meatballs in the sauce until they are well coated.

Return the coated meatballs to the oven for another 30 minutes to allow the sauce to stick.

Drizzle any leftover sauce over the meatballs before serving.
