If you’re looking for a recipe for potlucks, parties, game-watching, and even for the holidays, this is a great one to keep in mind! These Cranberry Sauce Meatballs are super easy to make and since they’re made with jellied cranberry sauce—a popular food item for this time of year—they’re perfect for any kind of get-together!

The jellied cranberry sauce is mixed with chili sauce and seasoned with chili powder and paprika. It's also sweetened with some brown sugar!

Using fully-cooked meatballs from the frozen foods section makes this recipe extremely easy to make, but you could use homemade meatballs instead, if you prefer. And you can cook these up in a saucepan or make them in a slow cooker!
