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:
- For the best results, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
- Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatball mixture. This will help to keep the meatballs moist and tender.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
- Form the meatballs into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the sauce. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce. A homemade sauce is always best, but a store-bought sauce can also be used.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become fully cooked.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides, such as pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
