I participated in the Mom Central Ultimate Party Meatballs Blog Tour last year, and my family loved the recipe so much, that I happily signed up to participate again this year. Not only are these meatballs really yummy, but they only use three ingredients and are super-easy to make!  This is a terrific appetizer to munch on while decorating the tree or wrapping gifts (just don’t drip any sauce on your gifts!), and is also terrific to take as a potluck dish to a holiday get-together.

Ultimate Party Meatballs are the creation of Ocean Spray and Heinz, who provided me with a can of cranberry sauce and a bottle of chili sauce for this review. I purchased frozen meatballs on a trip to Aldi.  You can go to the Ultimate Party Meatballs website for more recipes, party tips, downloads, and to enter a sweepstakes.  Here’s the recipe ingredients and directions:

These meatballs are SO GOOD.  I hope you give them a try!
