I love a good easy recipe. My dog Baby got sick recently with an eye problem so I spent most of the weekend watching her… it was nice to throw this recipe together quickly and have a good meal without a lot of hassle.
I made THE BEST subs with these meatballs! It was so easy just to throw them under the broiler a few minutes to melt the parmesan cheese. BAM and dinner was done. 😮
The combination of cranberry sauce, chili sauce, honey and seasonings is freakin’ phenomenal! It was all I could do not to eat some of these meatballs before photographing. They’re perfect on sub rolls, over pasta or as an appetizer to take to your next gathering. A no-fuss recipe that’s guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
- 1 (14-ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 pounds fully cooked frozen meatballs, thawed
- In a medium bowl, combine cranberry sauce, chili sauce, honey, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Stir until smooth.
- Place meatballs in your slow cooker. Cover with sauce and stir to coat evenly.
- Cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until sauce is bubbly and hot and meatballs are heated through. Stir occasionally during cooking if possible.
Yum! That looks perfect!
Thanks so much, Arthur… they were so easy and delicious! 🙂
