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.

could one use chicken meat balls with this??????What size bag of meatballs??????? thanks
Hi Susan, I think chicken meatballs would work great with this recipe.
How big a bag of meatballs, Tammilee?
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.
My Mom used to make something just like this for all the parties she had. It was a huge hit!
Sweet & spicy is my favorite combination and it looks like this one fits the bill. Going to give it a shot!
Oh my! My son is going to love these!
I had these years ago. So easy to make and so yummy!
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.
