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.
