Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

For the Meatballs

  • 32 oz Frozen Bite-Size Meatballs Feel free to use homemade ones for richer flavor.

For the Sauce

  • 16 oz Whole Cranberry Sauce Fresh cranberry sauce works too but may need extra sweetener.
  • 12 oz Heinz Chili Sauce Swap it for your favorite brand or sriracha for more spice.
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Soy sauce can be a substitute for gluten-free.
  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar Light brown sugar is an alternative if needed.

Instructions

How to Make Easy Delicious Cranberry Meatballs

  • Start by placing frozen bite-size meatballs in your slow cooker, set to low heat.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole cranberry sauce, Heinz chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and dark brown sugar. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meatballs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  • Cover the slow cooker and let the meatballs cook on low for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Shift the slow cooker to the warm setting, and before serving, garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

Serve with toothpicks for easy snacking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
