We cheated and used pre-made meatballs, and just through the sauce and meatballs (still frozen) into the crockpot for a few hours.
=== Ingredients ===
==== Meatballs ====
* 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
* 3/4 cup quick oats
* 1 cup milk
* 3 tablespoons finely minced onion
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

* 1 cup all-purpose flour (for coating meatballs)
* Canola oil

==== Sauce ====
* 12 oz. jar of cocktail sauce
* 1 can whole cranberry sauce
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1 cup water

=== Preparation ===
'''For the meatballs:''' preheat the oven to 350°. Combine all the meatball ingredients (except the oil and flour). Roll into medium-small balls (about the size of a ping pong ball – if you want specifics) and place on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in the freezer for five minutes.

After 5 minutes, remove meatballs from freezer and immediately dredge in unseasoned flour. Heat 1/3 cup canola oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, add meatballs and brown on all sides (but don’t cook through). Place the meatballs in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish and make the sauce.

'''For the sauce:''' combine the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and cook in the oven for 40 minutes, tossing halfway through to coat the meatballs in the sauce. Serve with toothpicks.

'''Note:''' Alternately, you can make the meatballs the day beforehand (including cooking them by themselves in the 9x13-inch pan) and then the next day, place the meatballs and heated sauce in the crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours to heat through.
