Ingredients
-
27 ounces Bavarian-style sauerkraut, undrained
-
1 (16 ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
-
1 (12 ounce) bottle tomato-based chili sauce
-
1 cup water
-
1 cup packed brown sugar
-
1 (16 ounce) package frozen meatballs
Directions
-
Mix sauerkraut, cranberry sauce, chili sauce, water, and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl until well combined.
-
Place meatballs into a slow cooker. Pour in sauce and mix until meatballs are coated. Cover and cook on Medium, stirring occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 4 hours.
Cook’s Note
Sometimes I substitute pineapple juice for water and add a can of pineapple chunks.
Editor's Note:
If your slow cooker only has High and Low settings, try 2 to 3 hours on High or 5 to 6 on Low. The most important indicator will be the internal temperature, which needs to be at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
