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

Nice spicy kick

I made this recipe years ago. I made the mistake of using Italian style frozen meatballs one time, and they didn't taste good at all. But when I have made this recipe (in my slow cooker, on LOW), they have disappeared. I love the idea of adding fresh cranberries to this sauce and letting them pop. Sounds delicious. I will try this next time.

Just got home from a dinner with some friends and everyone loved these. I think they could be spicier but that's just because I really love spicy food; my friends all thought they were great the way they are!

I've also done it with a small jar of grape jelly and a jar of heinz chili sauce. AMAZING. I almost beg for a reason to make them!!Do it though, you wont be disappointed... except when they are all gone! :)

This recipe is amazing! I love cranberry and the tang it adds to this sauce as opposed to the sweetness of grape jelly. My family asks for this again and again!

I make these all the time and everyone wants the recipe. I add a little bit more cayenne pepper for more zip. They are always a hit!!!

Delicious sauce and was a good use for home made chili sauce and homemade meatballs. Leftovers were great also.

Also tasted great with 'little smokeys', vienna sausages and plain old inch size slices of hot dogs.

Took these to a Christmas get together and found different meatballs everywhere. So I thought, great..no one will eat these. OMG they were the first ones gone. Everyone wanted the recipe!
