- Don't overcook the meatballs. Overcooked meatballs will be tough and dry. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 30 minutes on high or 2 hours on low.
- Add some spice. A little bit of chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper will add a nice kick of flavor to the meatballs. You can also add a chopped jalapeño pepper for a more pronounced spice.
- Serve with your favorite sides. Cranberry chili meatballs are delicious served over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. You can also serve them with a side of sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
