- 2 pounds beef meatballs frozen, pre-cooked (32 ounce bag)

Add the frozen meatballs, cranberry sauce, chili sauce, and brown sugar to the crockpot. Stir until the meatballs are evenly coated in the sauce.
Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, stirring once or twice during cooking.
Once done, serve warm as an appetizer or over rice for an easy meal.
Fridge: Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze leftovers in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheat leftover cranberry meatballs in the microwave until hot throughout or over a low temperature on the stovetop. You may want to cover them so the sauce doesn't make a mess in the microwave.
