Using packaged meatballs helps save time in the kitchen and they are just as tasty as homemade. My friends look forward to enjoying these meatballs at our holiday gatherings and there are never any leftovers! The sauce is tangy yet sweet, and the festive color is perfect for any holiday party. —Amy Scamerhorn, Indianapolis, Indiana

Made these for New Years Eve. Everyone loved them. They were not spicy hot, so more heat could be added if desired.

These were so good and easy to prepare. Some of my favorite appetizers! I cooked them on the stove and then kept them in a slow cooker on low for a couple of hours. some fell apart, but everyone loved how they just melted in your mouth :)

My mother first served this to us, and now it's become a holiday tradition. Great flavor with little effort.

Just like my grandma's recipe for meatloaf, only she added sauerkraut to the cranberry and chili mix. Delish!
