Just call me Sandra Lee! Haha. And I can actually thank my grandmother for finding this recipe. There are a few different ways you can do this but here in my house, we don't have a lot of patience when it comes to food so we do it the super easy, hardly any work and hardly any waiting time way.
You can make your own plain meatballs..I actually want to try it this way so once I do, I will let you know. Anyways...you take one jar of Heinz Chili Sauce and one can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce..the jelly kind. Put them together in a sauce pan..if you're putting the meatballs in the same pan, make sure it's large enough to accommodate a whole bag of frozen cocktail meatballs. Or two 16 count bags of frozen regular size meatballs. I like to melt the cranberry sauce into the chili sauce first before adding the meatballs. It's just easier. However, the way I've been making these lately because I'm always home alone when I do, is in my giant slow cooker. I still heat the sauce first though because again, who wants chunks of cranberry sauce? Not me. Plus, there's just something about slow cooked food. It takes anywhere between 3-4 hours on high. On the stovetop, it's just until the frozen meatballs are cooked through.
Enjoy!
