Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lb coctail meatballs - i used italian style
14 oz can of cranberry sauce (any type will do)
1 bottle 12 oz chili sauce - i used heinz
3 clove garlic (minced or use 1tbs powder) to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, mix thoroughly together cranberry sauce, chili sauce and garlic. You can use with or without cranberries.
  • 2. Place meatballs in crockpot.
  • 3. Pour sauce over meatballs.
  • 4. This step should be adjusted to your crockpot cooking time. This one I used a new crockpot and it only took 1 hour (and it was boiling!). COOK: 1-1.5 hours on high, stirring once or twice.
  • 5. Low for 1 hour - then warm.
  • 6. Leftovers: great for meatball sandwiches with left over pasta sauce &melted/unmelted mozzarella cheese! Great for the next day lunch box also.
  • 7. The twist is what the garlic brings to this recipe. One other spin I used was: 1 or 2 tablespoons of left over red pasta sauce (marinara, etc). It gives it a savory undertone.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meatballs: For the best results, use high-quality, frozen or homemade meatballs. Frozen meatballs should be thawed before cooking.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the meatballs evenly. If it's too thin, it will run off the meatballs and won't stick.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the meatballs, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the meatballs until they're browned: Cook the meatballs until they're browned on all sides. This will help to develop their flavor.
  • Serve the meatballs immediately: Once the meatballs are cooked, serve them immediately. They're best when they're hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Ocean Spray Cranberry Glazed Meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that's sure to impress your guests.
