More than just cranberry sauce and ketchup, this recipe is more complex with a heartier flavor. I'm always asked for this recipe! Although they are made on the stovetop, they can be kept warm in a crockpot and served from it.
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:
1. Combine sauce ingredients and heat in sauce pan.
2. Heat until cranberry sauce has dissolved and all ingredients are well combined.
3. 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.
4. It is best to let these cook at a low temperature for 30-60 minutes.
5. 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.
6. Serve hot.
