Chef's Notes
Do not let the combination of sauerkraut and cranberry sauce scare you! This unexpected pairing creates the ultimate sweet and tangy glaze that caramelizes gorgeously as it simmers in the slow cooker.
Pro Tip
For an even deeper flavor profile, let your sauce mixture sit covered in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before pouring it over the meatballs so the brown sugar fully dissolves into the fruit acids.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping frozen meatballs into the slow cooker without stirring the thick sauce on top first, resulting in a burnt sugar crust at the bottom of the pot while the meatballs stay bone dry and ice cold in the middle.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our Jester notes that if these meatballs were any more 'Bavarian,' they would be attempting to pass a new law regarding the purity of the sauce!
The Culinary Science
The natural pectin found in the cranberry sauce acts as a brilliant thickener when combined with the sugar and tomato chili sauce, transforming into a glossy lacquer under steady slow-cooker heat.
