If you’re looking for a recipe for potlucks, parties, game-watching, and even for the holidays, this is a great one to keep in mind! These Cranberry Sauce Meatballs are super easy to make and since they’re made with jellied cranberry sauce—a popular food item for this time of year—they’re perfect for any kind of get-together!

I found this recipe over at Taste of Home and switched up the seasoning in the sauce for these meatballs a little—I substituted paprika for the ground cumin and cayenne pepper. I like the rich smoky flavor paprika adds to recipes! Using fully-cooked meatballs from the frozen foods section makes this recipe extremely easy to make, but you could use homemade meatballs instead, if you prefer. After mixing the sauce ingredients together in a saucepan, you add in the meatballs and then continue cooking in the saucepan or transfer it all to a crockpot to cook on low for a few hours. You’ll end up with tasty meatballs covered in a saucy, sweet-and-mildly-spicy coating that everyone will enjoy chowing down on! 🙂

I’ve made meatballs similar to this with barbecue sauce too. Have you made meatballs like this before? What do you like to use in your sauce?
