I use ground chicken in this recipe with AMAZING results. The meatballs are very tender & flavourful! For a quick weeknight meal, prepare meatballs & sauce the night before. Refrigerate overnight & turn the crock pot on in the morning.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of meat. Ground beef is the most common type of meat used for meatballs, but you can also use ground pork, turkey, or lamb. If you're using a leaner meat, like turkey or lamb, you may want to add some bread crumbs or oatmeal to help keep the meatballs moist.
- Season the meatballs well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatballs, such as garlic, onion, parsley, thyme, and oregano. You can also add a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs for extra flavor.
- Cook the meatballs thoroughly. Make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way through before serving. You can do this by cooking them in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours, or by baking them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes.
- Use a good quality cranberry sauce. The cranberry sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality sauce. You can either use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, use fresh cranberries and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Serve the meatballs hot. Meatballs are best served hot, so make sure you serve them as soon as they're done cooking. You can serve them over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
Conclusion:
Crock-Pot Meatballs in Cranberry Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the cranberry sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
