Slow Cooker Cranberry Barbecue Meatballs image

A wonderful appetizer - always highly requested at our parties! From a Betty Crocker Appetizer recipe book - January 2004. I use store-bought meatballs. Meatballs will hold on Low Heat setting for about 2 hours. Hint- Trader Joe's makes a great cranberry-orange sauce, but only at the holidays. To make this recipe at other times, I just create a sauce with canned cranberries and about a 1/4 cup OJ. Enjoy! We sure do!

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans, and they were a hit with the whole family.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The meatballs are so moist and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but the meatballs were delicious.

These meatballs were a hit with my family! The cranberry barbecue sauce was tangy and sweet, and the meatballs were cooked perfectly in the slow cooker. I will definitely be making these again.
