Looks delicious! I'm drooling :) I'm not a big fan of such experiments (cranberries and meat - that's a bit unusual), but it really looks yummy, I should give it a try. Thanks! Freida,

It is an awesome recipe, delicious yet healthy, with no extra fats or calories. This one has instantly attracted me, as I am a great lover of something spicy, especially chili.

So many great reviews. If making in a Crock Pot, do you need to make sauce on stove before putting all in Crock Pot? How long to cook in Crock Pot? Thanks!

I made this in the crock pot and it was easy! Just heat the meatballs in the crock pot for an hour or so, make sauce on stove and then add sauce to meatballs in crock pot for another hour. Heat on low. Delicious!
