How To Make These 5- Ingredient Crockpot Cranberry Meatballs
Add the meatballs, chili sauce, cranberry sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to your crock pot.
Cook for 1-2 hours on high heat, or 3-4 hours on low. Stir the meatballs every 30 minutes.
The meatballs are ready once the jelly has melted and everything is well combined.
Remove the meatballs from the crockpot, plate, and serve!
Important Recipe Notes
This is a dump-and-go meal. All you need to do is dump all the ingredients in the crockpot and stir every 30 minutes.
Use your favorite frozen meatballs. I used homestyle ones because I didn’t want any flavored meatballs to ruin the taste of the sauce. Plain meatballs work well for this recipe, too.
While stirring every 30 minutes, check to see if the jelly is completely melted and everything has combined. This indicates that your meatballs are ready to eat!
Store these cranberry meatballs in an air tight container in the fridge for up 3 days.
