You all know I love the crockpot! And I love making quick, easy appetizers that you don’t have to stress over! Well, today I am sharing a crockpot appetizer that is seriously soooooo easy! These Crock Pot Cranberry Barbecue Meatballs only take 3 ingredients and a few hours and you have an appetizer everyone will love!
John kept telling me he wasn’t excited for these meatballs. He was worried the cranberry flavor would be overpowering and he wouldn’t like them. When I started making them he gave me the look. You know the one that says I am going to try these but not because I am happy only because you are making them…..
I am happy to say his grumpy look disappeared when he tried them. He grumbled that they were actually really good and went back for more. Woohoo score 1 for me! Who would have thought cranberry meatballs would make my husband admit he was wrong about a recipe.

Tammilee says
Hi Susan, I think chicken meatballs would work great with this recipe.
Becky says
How big a bag of meatballs, Tammilee?
Karen says
Becky,
I am making these now. I doubled the recipe and used a 4 lb. bag of meatballs. It looks good. So a single recipe likely uses a 2 lb bag.
Ellen Christian says
My Mom used to make something just like this for all the parties she had. It was a huge hit!
Scott says
Sweet & spicy is my favorite combination and it looks like this one fits the bill. Going to give it a shot!

These look really good for sure. Thank you for sharing this idea with us. My kids LOVE meatballs cooked in the slow cooker with grape jelly and BBQ sauce, so my guess is they would enjoy this too.
