If you're planning on hosting a Christmas party like I am this year, you're probably in the process of finalizing your menu. Since this is my first time hosting all the relatives (at our new locale no less!), I want to cook my old reliables but also impress them with new recipes that taste terrific but won't eat up all of my time (no pun intended). After all, I want to spend time socializing with my company, not standing over my oven.
Well, thanks to Heinz and Ocean Spray, I now have my appetizer under control. Their Ultimate Party Meatballs recipe takes only two steps and uses only three ingredients! This budget-friendly dish is perfect to serve at a dinner party or before the big holiday meal. And let's not forget Super Bowl!
Ultimate Party Meatballs
1 14-ounce can Ocean Spray® Jellied Cranberry Sauce
1 12-ounce bottle Heinz® Chili Sauce
1 2-pound bag frozen, pre-cooked, cocktail-size meatballs
Combine sauces in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Add meatballs. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally. Makes 30 appetizer servings.
Slow Cooker Preparation: Place meatballs in a slow cooker. Combine sauces and pour over meatballs. Cover and cook 4 hours on HIGH.
