Equipment

  • slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 3 pounds ready-to-eat meatballs
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 12 ounces chili sauce (jarred)
  • 14 ounces jellied cranberry sauce (canned)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Begin by lightly greasing your slow cooker with cooking spray to avoid sticking.

For Cooking:

  • In the slow cooker, combine the meatballs, chili sauce, jellied cranberry sauce, orange juice, barbecue sauce, and red pepper flakes.
  • Set the slow cooker on high. If using frozen meatballs, allow 3 to 4 hours for them to heat thoroughly. For thawed meatballs, 2 hours should suffice.
