The combination of cranberries and sauerkraut give these meatballs a different flavor. I'm always asked for the recipe whenever I bring this dish to a potluck.

Not classed with with my high standard gourmet recipes but excellent for weekday meals. Would recommend to others.

Over 1800 grams of SODIUM? You must be kidding. You want to kill us?

For easier preparation, I use frozen meatballs and just mix everything together in a crockpot for 5 to 7 hours on low heat. After dinner, I separate leftovers into gladware containers and freeze until I need a quick meal; I think they even taste better reheated. Also tastes great over rice!

A friend made these, since I'm not a sauerkraut fan I wouldn't have tried them. They were delicious though I wish the calorie count were lower
