ROD Baviarin Meatballs

 12 oz tomato based chili sauce
1 (16 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce 
27 ounces Bavarian style sauerkraut undrained 
1 c. water
1 c. brown sugar (I used splenda brown sugar)
1 (16 oz) frozen meatballs  (I used turkey)
 
optional

1 can pineaple chunks using juice in place of water 

In the crockpot combine all ingredients except meatballs and stir until blended.  Add meatballs.  Cook, covered at medium temperature for 4 hours stirring occasionally to coat meatballs


NOTE:  I thought this was on the sweet side.  I dont know if it was because I used the pineapple and juice.  Next time my preference would be to cut the brown sugar by 1/2 cup.  I guess it depends on how sweet you want your meatballs.  

It sounds wonderful and super easy for a party. The big box (Sam's & Costco) stores have various styles of premade frozen meat balls.

I am with you as it does seem a little sweet.

When using Splenda Brown Sugar, you need to use HALF of the amount that the original recipe calls for in regular brown sugar.  Maybe  that is shy it is too sweet?

When I use Splenda Brown Sugar, I use a little less than half as I find it to be VERY sweet.

Anyway.....sounds like a great recipe!

 Thanks Dawn.  I did not know that.  It probably has that information on the package, but do they really think that people read the packages?     I didn't.  I will try to remember that.  It makes sense as to why it was too sweet.
