Cranberry Chipotle Meatballs & Three Bean Salad Recipes

thanksgiving recipes

I know we will have all our traditional favorite dishes, but I do hope someone brings something new to try this year. I’m ready for a new recipe! Will let you know and even share it with you if it is a big hit!

I have two recipes for you this week, one appetizer and one salad. The appetizer is cranberry–chipotle meatballs and is a different take on the regular cranberry meatball sauce by spicing it up with some chipotle peppers. And the salad is an old-time family favorite, three bean salad. I love this salad in the fall because of the great colors of this salad. Enjoy them both!

Cranberry — Chipotle Meatballs

Two 16-ounce packages frozen cooked plain meatballs

One 16-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce

One cup bottled barbecue sauce

One to two tablespoons finely chopped canned chipotle chile pepper in adobe sauce.

Six green onions, sliced thin including green.

Place meatballs in a four-quart slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine rest of ingredients and pour over meatballs. Cover and cook on low heat for four to five hours. Serve immediately, or keep warm, covered on low heat.

Three Bean Salad

One No. 2 can each of green beans, yellow wax beans and red kidney beans. Wash kidney beans and drain all beans well.

Cut:

One-half cup diced green peppers

One-third cup chopped onions

Combine with beans

Mix well the following and pour over beans and vegetables

One-third cup salad oil

Two-thirds cup cider vinegar

Three-fourths cup sugar

One-half teaspoon white pepper

Let stand at least eight hours, 24 is even better. Keep refrigerated.
