Tips
- Got cranberry sauce left over from Thanksgiving? This is a good way to use it up. If you make your own, our cranberry sauce with fresh cranberries works here too.
- Your barbecue sauce sets the heat. A smoky or spicy sauce makes them spicier; a sweet one makes them milder for kids.
- For a party, keep the meatballs warm in a small slow cooker on the warm setting and set out toothpicks, so guests can help themselves.
- Leftovers keep in a covered container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat until hot all the way through.
- Hosting a big meal? Our guide to how long leftover turkey lasts has a fridge and freezer chart for everything left after the holiday.
