SLOW COOKER CRANBERRY BARBECUE MEATBALLS
A wonderful appetizer - always highly requested at our parties! From a Betty Crocker Appetizer recipe book - January 2004. I use store-bought meatballs. Meatballs will hold on Low Heat setting for about 2 hours. Hint- Trader Joe's makes a great cranberry-orange sauce, but only at the holidays. To make this recipe at other times, I just create a sauce with canned cranberries and about a 1/4 cup OJ. Enjoy! We sure do!

Tips:
- Choose the right type of cranberry. Fresh or frozen cranberries can be used in this recipe. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Use a variety of ground meats. This recipe calls for a combination of ground beef and ground pork, but you can use any type of ground meat that you like. Ground turkey, chicken, or lamb would all be good options.
- Don't overcook the meatballs. The meatballs should be cooked through, but not overcooked, or they will become tough. Cook them for about 1 hour on high or 2 hours on low in the slow cooker.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the meatballs. If it is too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and cook until thickened.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles are all good options.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker cranberry meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a holiday party or a weeknight meal. The meatballs are made with a combination of ground beef and pork, and they are cooked in a sweet and tangy cranberry sauce. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
