Potlucks or family gatherings where you need a quick and easy "go
to" side dish are some of my favorites. We had a potluck at work to
celebrate Halloween and I wanted to bring something in that could be a
protein for myself and my coworkers. Going back and fourth with what I
wanted to bring I decided on meatballs in a crock pot. Avoiding the
typical meatball and sauce route I opted to go with a cranberry sauce
and chili sauce mixture.
The end result is a
delicious sweet, spicy, tangy sauce that coats the meatballs. The longer
this simmers in the crock pot, the better it tastes. If it is simmering
for a while, I do add a little bit of water to avoid the sauce from
burning.
The end result is a crowd pleaser, tasty
and a moderately "point friendly" dish. The below makes one bag of
meatballs, but if you want to make two - just use double the ingredients
(double cranberry, chili sauce, meatballs and water).
1 bag frozen turkey meatballs
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 bottle chili sauce
1/4 cup water
Add
all ingredients to a crock pot, turn on low and allow to heat for 2
1/2+ hours (or as long as you want - the longer it cooks the better).
