Directions
Put the meatballs into your slow cooker. In a separate bowl, give the cranberry sauce a rough mash, then stir in the pineapple chunks, brown sugar, and chipotle chile until everything’s well combined. Pour this sauce mixture over the meatballs and gently stir to coat them evenly. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Let it cook for about 4 to 5 hours, until the sauce thickens and the meatballs soak up all those flavors. When it’s ready, serve them up with toothpicks for easy snacking.
Serving Ideas To Try
Serve these meatballs over creamy mashed potatoes or a bed of fluffy rice to soak up the sauce. They also pair well with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
How To Store This Recipe
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave to keep the meatballs moist. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
