Mini-Meatballs in Cranberry Sauce
By: Mirj
Nov 15, 2001
These cute little meatballs go very quickly at holiday gatherings.
60 meatballs
Ingredients
- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 cup challah bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
SAUCE
- 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 1/2 cups chili sauce or catsup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon citric acid or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
1
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, bread crumbs, parsley, eggs, garlic, onion powder, basil and pepper.2
Mix well but do not overwork or meat will become tough when cooked.3
Form into small balls the size of a walnut or smaller.4
Place meatballs in a slow oven of 300 degrees F and bake for 25 minutes.5
In the meantime, in a crock pot set at 325 degrees F, mix together the cranberry sauce (if you so desire, you can use jellied. I prefer the whole berry.) Add remaining sauce ingredients.6
When meatballs are baked, transfer them to the crock pot and stir into the sauce.7
Cook in crock pot for 1 hour.8
Lower heat to keep warm for serving.

Used pre-made meatballs and the sauce. No one really raved or commented on them. My husband really did not like them at all. I thought they were just "OK". I used the chili sauce and lemon juice. I most likely will not fix these again.

YUM. These were a big hit for our Christmas gathering (so festive!). Used fresh cranberry sauce, and less catsup than was called for (because I didn't have enough) but it worked out fine. Only thing was I didn't realize it called for a crockpot, so I just put it in the oven on low for 20 minutes (until we couldn't wait any longer). They would definately benefit from a slow sit in the sauce though. Thank goodness I got a crockpot for Christmas!!!!

We really enjoyed this recipe. the sauce has a sweeter taste different than a tomato based recipe, but that was what I was looking for. Excellent flavor and easy to make. I made the meatballs and cooked them the day before. Then, when they cooled, I put them in a baggie in the fridge until the next day. They were wonderful and the leftovers reheated well in the microwave. In fact, they just keep getting tastier!
