Cranberry Crockpot Meatballs

For the past 20 years, my parents have hosted an open house on Christmas Eve. It's a day I always look forward to. Every single year, my mom makes crockpot meatballs. She usually uses grape jelly with cranberry sauce, but this year I wanted to change things up a bit. I wanted to make the recipe a little more festive, so instead of using grape jelly, we used cranberry sauce. As always, the meatballs were a hit at the party and gone by the end of the night. 

Did I mention that these take no time to make. They're a simple appetizer, which makes them a must for holiday parties.  Enjoy! 

Ingredients: 

1 26 oz bag of frozen meatballs (fully cooked)

1 jar of chili sauce (14 oz) 

1 can of jellied cranberry sauce (12 oz) 

Directions: 

Pour meatballs into the crockpot. 

In a large bowl mix together cranberry sauce and chili sauce. 

Pour sauce mixture over meatballs in the crock pot. 

Cook on low for 4 hours.
