Meatballs in Sweet & Spicy Sauce – Great Super Bowl Appetizer
I enjoy Super Bowl Sunday. This year, the NFL awarded the 2010 Super Bowl — Super Bowl XLIV — to Miami and the championship game will be played February 7, 2010 at Dolphin Stadium. My husband and sons usually watch, while I play bar wench, bringing in food and drinks. Well, not quite, but I do enjoy making simple appetizers that please the guys in my life. I only watch the game for the commercials.
This year, I’ll make Sweet & Spicy Meatballs. It’s a tried and true recipe that’s been around for a long time. And the best part, it’s so easy. Make them in a crock pot and it couldn’t be simpler.Sweet and Spicy Meatballs
- 2 pounds frozen meatballs
- 1 – 16 oz. can jellied cranberry sauce (or use 1- 16 oz. jar of grape jelly)
- 1 – 12 oz. bottle chili sauce
Combine the meatballs, cranberry sauce (or jelly), and chili sauce in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring at least once every hour. Serve warm. Serves 10.
Tip: for an even easier dish, go to Costco and buy their Raspberry Chipotle Sauce. Take the jar and empty the contents into a crock pot, add the meatballs, and cook. These are great!
