WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Cranberry Meatballs
I made these really easy 5-ingredient cranberry meatballs for dinner last night.
Served with mashed potatoes and broccoli, they were a big hit.
They would be great as an appetizer too, served right out of your slow cooker with toothpicks on the side!
Recipe Notes
You can either use store-bought meatballs, or make your own. I intended to use store bought, but ended up using premixed meatloaf mix from Sprouts to make them instead.
I didn’t precook the meatballs; just placed them in the slow cooker and poured on the sauce. The cooking time will depend on whether your meatballs are frozen, thawed, or precooked.
With just 5 ingredients, these slow cooker meatballs with cranberry gravy are as easy as they are delicious.
The recipe calls for a little bit of heavy cream. You can use evaporated milk instead. If you do, according to my calculations, calories per serving are reduced by 10, but the points value stays the same.
