Fancy Meatballs

The sauce really makes this dish.  It could be an appetizer or a main dish.

1, 16oz can of whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 cup of ketchup
1/3 cup of packed brown sugar
1/2 cup beef broth
1, 18oz package of frozen meatballs, thawed
or you could use homemade meatballs.

Combine the cranberry sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and broth in a large crock pot.  Turn the heat to HIGH and let the mixture come to a boil for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  (If you are in a hurry, you can skip this step and add the sauce and the meatballs at the same time)  Place the thawed meatballs in the sauce, stir to really coat each meatball.

Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours.

Remove the meatballs to a serving dish with a slotted spoon.  Insert a toothpick if you are serving them as an appetizer or serve them plated with your favorite side dishes.
