I prepare these in a crockpot. I have served these twice: work party and for our fellowship hour at church. Huge hit with both! This recipe comes from Ocean Spray with my twist.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lb coctail meatballs - i used italian style
14 oz can of cranberry sauce (any type will do)
1 bottle 12 oz chili sauce - i used heinz
3 clove garlic (minced or use 1tbs powder) to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, mix thoroughly together cranberry sauce, chili sauce and garlic. You can use with or without cranberries.
  • 2. Place meatballs in crockpot.
  • 3. Pour sauce over meatballs.
  • 4. This step should be adjusted to your crockpot cooking time. This one I used a new crockpot and it only took 1 hour (and it was boiling!). COOK: 1-1.5 hours on high, stirring once or twice.
  • 5. Low for 1 hour - then warm.
  • 6. Leftovers: great for meatball sandwiches with left over pasta sauce &melted/unmelted mozzarella cheese! Great for the next day lunch box also.
  • 7. The twist is what the garlic brings to this recipe. One other spin I used was: 1 or 2 tablespoons of left over red pasta sauce (marinara, etc). It gives it a savory undertone.

Yield 30 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1-lb. bags frozen pre-cooked cocktail-size meatball
1 16-oz Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce
1 12-oz bottle Heinz Chili Sauce

Steps:

  • Combine sauces, cook over medium-low heat, stir until smooth. Add prepared meatballs, stir about 15 minutes or until meatballs are heated through.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats: Combining different types of ground meat, such as beef, pork, and veal, creates a more flavorful meatball.
  • Soak the bread in milk: This helps keep the meatballs moist and tender.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
  • Use a large enough skillet: The meatballs should not be crowded in the skillet, or they will not brown evenly.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat: This helps prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: Marinara sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or teriyaki sauce are all good options.

Party meatballs are a delicious and easy appetizer that can be enjoyed by everyone. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your meatballs are perfect every time. So next time you're hosting a party, be sure to give these recipes a try. Your guests will love them!
