Swedish meatballs.

INGREDIENTS:

1 16-ounce can Jellied Cranberry Sauce
1 12-ounce bottle Chili Sauce
1 2-pound bag frozen, pre-cooked, cocktail-size meatballs

DIRECTIONS:

Combine sauces in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Add meatballs. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally.

Makes 30 appetizer servings.

Or here's another that is good too:

SAUCE
1 can cranberry sauce (whole cranberries or plain jellied)
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 tspn yellow mustard (1 squirt)

Meatballs
1 1/2 lbs chop meat
1 egg
salt
pepper
bread crumbs (handful)

Put ingredients for sauce in pot and put flame on, cover pot

Mix meatball ingredients. Make into balls and drop into sauce. It is okay to add into sauce even though sauce will be chunky in the beginning. Sauce will liquefy while meat cooks. Cover and let cook for about 1 1/2 hours.
