Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen cooked meatballs
- 1 (12 ounce) jar cranberry sauce
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce
Instructions
- Place the frozen meatballs into the basin of your slow cooker.
- Pour the cranberry sauce and chili sauce over the meatballs.
- Stir gently to coat all the meatballs evenly with the sauce mixture.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.

Notes
- You can substitute BBQ sauce for the chili sauce for a cranberry BBQ meatball flavor.
- If you prefer a tangier glaze, use 1 cup of cranberry sauce and 1 cup of a sweet and sour sauce instead of chili sauce.
- For a low-carb option, check that your frozen meatballs contain no added sugar or breading.
