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.
