Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can substitute frozen cranberry-orange sauce for the shelf-stable type. Just thaw before using.
  • tip 2
    These meatballs are great to bring to a gathering. Just place them in the slow cooker and plug them in when you get to your destination. You're ready to go without using the host’s precious oven space!
