Description
These Cranberry Meatballs are a perfect blend of savory and sweet, slow-cooked to tender perfection with a tangy cranberry sauce and a hint of chili spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 26 ounces frozen bite-size meatballs
- 14 ounces whole cranberry sauce (can substitute grape jelly)
- 12 ounces Heinz Chili Sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Instructions
- Place the frozen bite-sized meatballs directly into the slow cooker, spreading them evenly across the base.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole cranberry sauce, Heinz chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and dark brown sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the meatballs in the slow cooker. Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and coating of sauce.
