So, So simple, delicious and addictive meatballs!!! I took these to work often when I worked at our largest newspaper. The aroma permeated all 5 floors, so many people (mostly men) from different departments stopped by to make sure they got some before they disappeared. I used 5 lbs of frozen small meatballs and they were gone well before day's end. (We also had tons of other goodies) I make them for reunions, etc. and everyone loves them BUT...., men in particular loved them most. I personally can't get enough of them and I'm a female!!!

ingredients

5 lbs frozen meatballs
2 (14 ounce) cans jellied cranberry sauce
2 (18 ounce) bottles hickory flavored barbecue sauce (I use Kraft)

directions

Thaw Meatballs in refrigerator.
Pour Barbecue Sauce and Cranberry Sauce Into fairly large crock pot.
Set pot on high heat.
Chop cranberry sauce up and stir together somewhat.
When sauces start getting hot, whisk until smooth.
Add meatballs and coat well using 1-2 wooden spoons to avoid breaking up meatballs.
When all gets hot and bubbly reduce heat to low.
Cover and stir occasionally.
Leave covered until all is heated through. the longer they heat, the more sauce gets soaked up by meatballs.
Continue to stir occasionally.
When ready to serve, tilt cover so sauce won't get watered down.
Use non-slotted spoon to serve. (So everyone can get some of the wonderful sauce).
