I tried these meatballs at a birthday party for a friend, and now I make them all the time. They are super easy to make and perfect for a potluck or a Sunday afternoon football game. —Lisa Castelli, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin

These are excellent. I knew when I read the recipe it would be a keeper and it is! I didn't change anything and they were a big hit.

I used fresh made cranberry sauce. Definately a keeper. Even the kids liked it.

Since 'stringy' sauerkraut seems to be an issue, has anyone tried putting it through a food processor before adding to sauce to have the flavor without the strings?

I received this same exact recipe ~30 years ago when our family was in the Air Force. I've made it literally hundreds of times. Every single time I make it or include it in a potluck I end up giving out the recipe to 2-3 people. It is such a fabulous crowd pleaser. Costco's frozen meatballs are the best to use but almost any grocer has frozen cocktail meatballs. All 3 of our kids also have used the same recipe over and over for their friends after having these while growing up. It is more than just a keeper!

Ok I though eew this can't be right but now that I saw all the reviews I am going to have to try them!

I make the same receipe but don't include the sauerkraut or brown suger and it's a big hit wherever i go. Some people just don't like the texture of the sauerkraut.

I made this recipe many, many years ago (maybe 30 years ago) when it was first featured in "Farm Wife News". My family could not figure out the stringy ingrediant (sauerkraut) but once they did realize that was the end of serving it again. It has been a reason to recall & chuckle for many years ~ but I was dicouraged from preparing it again. I thought it was a wonderful combination of flavors, however. I may have to try it out again. Maybe their taste buds have matured. :-)

This recipe is delicious and sooo easy! I always use the frozen meatballs that are ANGUS. They are 1000% better than just the plain ones that taste like they are full of fillers.
