How to Make Crock Pot Frozen Meatballs Cranberry Chipotle

  1. Place 2 lbs frozen meatballs into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (12 ounce) jar cranberry sauce, 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, 1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin.
  3. Pour the cranberry chipotle mixture evenly over the frozen meatballs.
  4. Cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until meatballs are heated through and sauce has thickened slightly. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
