Ingredients
Meatballs
- 26 ounces frozen bite size meatballs
Sauce
- 14 ounces whole cranberry sauce (can substitute grape jelly)
- 12 ounces Heinz Chili Sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons dark brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Place the frozen bite size meatballs into the slow cooker evenly, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer for even cooking.
- Mix the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cranberry sauce, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and dark brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine meatballs and sauce: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the frozen meatballs in the slow cooker, coating them thoroughly.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set the heat to low. Cook the meatballs for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the sauce flavors.
- Serve: After cooking, switch the slow cooker to the warm setting to keep the meatballs hot. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- Nutritional information is calculated based on serving about 5 meatballs per person.
- You can substitute grape jelly for cranberry sauce for a slightly different but still delicious flavor.
- Stirring occasionally during cooking helps prevent sticking and ensures even flavor distribution.
- For a sweeter sauce, you can adjust the brown sugar quantity to taste.
