Recipe Notes
Cocktail Meatballs
October 31, 2018

- I have made this with the equal amount of barbeque sauce (1 1/2 cups) substituted for the chili sauce and it was also very good.

- To make this really quick, you can use frozen premade meatballs. Just add the cranberry chile sauce topping on the defrosted meatballs and heat thoroughly.

- I used lean ground beef from Costco which has only 9% fat. The nutritional information provided is based on the lean ground beef
