- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
48 smokies or meatballs
- Serves:
- 24
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons onions, grated (NOT minced or chopped)
- 1 (16 ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
- 1 (12 ounce) jar chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 (14 ounce) packages smokies or 48 meatballs, pre-cooked
directions
- Combine sauce ingredients and heat in sauce pan.
- Heat until cranberry sauce has dissolved and all ingredients are well combined.
- If you are serving from a crockpot (to keep them warm), pour sauce over smokies or pre-cooked meatballs in the crockpot, otherwise, just add the smokies or meatballs to the pan.
- It is best to let these cook at a low temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- If you are keeping them in a crockpot, DO NOT put the lid on. These will end up with way too much watered down sauce.
- Serve hot.

Although the kind of cooking I was raised on and most enjoy would best be described as down-home, Southern comfort food, that is not my history in the the least. My mother came from Wyoming rather than the deep south, but she is a wonderful cook and an expert at comfort food.? We always had someone extra at our dinner table as a kid, so I learned how to cook for a crowd.? My husband and two kids tease me about cooking for the 5th regiment, but they all seem to enjoy it. Although I love to cook, I also love to perform in and teach Theatre. That means there are many times when my two passions don't allow enough time for one another.? It's rather difficult to be in the classroom all day teaching theatre, have rehearsals after school, and often be at a theatre by 6:30 for a performance call and still create the kind of meals I truly enjoy cooking. Until I can find a way to marry these two passions, I enjoy collecting and creating recipes and trying them out on my family and friends.
