After what feel like days in the kitchen from a Thanksgiving Holiday it’s time for something different.
Cranberry Meatballs are sure to please. We all love those flavors of Thanksgiving that just make you feel all warm inside, so why not take a little of that and throw it into something completely different with a Cranberry Meatball!
By now we are all tired of turkey anyways. 🙂
This recipes has about 2 minutes of actual work. It’s seriously so easy. In a bowl combine cranberry sauce and chili sauce and mix it all up until smooth.
Then in a crock pot put your frozen Italian meatballs and pour the sauce over the top and give it a good stir. Really, just stir it all up.
Now set your temperature to low and let it cook for 2-3 hours or until heated through. Your home will be filled with that wonderful cranberry smell, and you will have a completely new dinner to eat.
Yummy! It really is just that simple.
Rice:
Plain rice is great with this recipe, however we also love to serve this with the Savory Rice recipe.
It really is just what you prefer. However, this rice is delicious, so give it a try!

Is there a conversion to make the cranberry meatballs with an instant pot?
Devour Dinner
Hi Troy, I have not added a conversion to make this recipe for the Instant Pot. However, it would be very simple. You could follow the directions for the Hawaiian Meatballs for the pressure cook times and should work perfectly.
