I was recently invited to a women’s gathering at church and asked to bring a “covered dish.” Hee … kinda like that term … “covered dish.”
Anyhoo.
I was a tad excited to put some things together! Actually … I think I was a tad excited to have a reason to put some things together!
Anyhoo {again}. I thought I’d share the recipes with y’all!
This one is fairly easy … and pretty tasty too … don’t let the ingredient list fool ya!
Cocktail Meatballs:
1 jar of chili sauce
1 jar of water {in empty chili sauce jar}
1 medium can of sauerkraut
1 medium can of whole cranberries
3/4 cup of brown sugar
40-50 meatballs {I use frozen turkey meatballs, but knock yourself out if you have time to make from scratch}
In medium pot, stir together chili sauce, water, sauerkraut, cranberries, and brown sugar until cooked through. Pour over meatballs in a slowcooker and cook on low for a few hours until cooked through. Or cook on high for less time. Use your own Betty Crocker judgement on that one! :)
These little suckers are the tastiest-easiest-ever things to make! Like literally, 10 minutes and you’ve got a tray full of deliciousness! Directions found here.
And these? These my friends are just sinful. A sinful pan of butter + caramel goodness. A sinful treat that’ll have you coming back for more … trust me! Recipe found here.
Mmm – that all looks fantastic!!
I am going to have to try those meatballs out soon. There’s something homey and fantastic about meatballs!!
And, should you ever need a “reason” to be baking, I sacrificially offer you my mail box ;)
he he he. “covered dish”…such a church basement lady type of word that I grew up with. too funny!!
yeah – i can eat a vat of those pretzel pecan things. a friend of mine makes them for our christmas cookie exchange and i hoard them for myself.
Hey there! I remember those meatballs! I still have your recipe for the hunt! Every year they ask for them:) Those others look yummy too!
Being invited to a prayer group? Priceless……. So glad those women are going to get the chance to meet such a wonderful, beautiful woman just a little better:) Enjoy your gathering, but really they are the ones who are lucky to meet you! Love and Prayers to you my friend.

Thanks for the link back and so glad you liked the bars! They are my favorites :)
Really interesting sounding recipe, chili and cranberries? Hmm definitely going to have to breakout the crockpot and try it !
Hi Tracie!
Thanks for sharing my link :) How exciting! My viewers doubled because of you, yesss! Hope you and your family are doing well, good thoughts and prayers sent your way!
covered dish sounds southern too me…well and church lady like Karri said, but in a cute way!
still make the meatballs all the time…easy and yummy!!!
Everything looks so good! I have to ask is that a place mat that you are showing the food on or a towel? I love it! I see Old Salem written on it, they have the best bakery and their little town is a great place to take the kids especially around Christmas time. We go often. Hope you are doing well!
yum!!!!!!!!
i love those middle candies :) choc & pretzels, sweet & salty. love!
The meatballs sound delish! I also love the looks of the pretzel combo treats. I may have to try those today or tomorrow. ;) Yummo!
