Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle (12-ounce) Heinz chili sauce
  • 1 can (14-ounce) jellied cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 bags (14 to 18-ounce) frozen cooked bite-size Italian meatballs do not thaw
  • finely chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk Heinz chili sauce, jellied cranberry sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce together in a slow cooker until mostly smooth. Stir in frozen meatballs.
  • Cover and cook until meatballs are heated through and sauce thickens, 2 to 2.5 hours on HIGH or 3 to 4 hours on LOW. For thicker sauce, cook uncovered on HIGH for the last 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer meatballs and sauce to a serving dish, or serve straight from the slow cooker on warm setting. Garnish with parsley if desired.
