Suzette, these meatballs were so delish!! I did however, modify this recipe to my liking. I added Italian style bread crumbs, and several large dashes of black pepper to the meatballs. I shaped them into 26 ( 1-1/2 inch ) meatballs; placed them on a greased jelly roll sheet, and baked them in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. As for the cranberry-sauerkraut sauce, I used bagged sauerkraut, ( from one 32 oz. bag ) which I drained ( squeezed ) off the liquid, then added half of the kraut it to the mix. I also increased the amount of brown sugar, ( I added exactly 1-1/2 cups ) plus added 1 (16 oz.) can of jelled cranberries. I then ( covered ) the baking pan, and baked the meatballs for exactly 30 minutes. After thirty minutes of baking time, I then ( uncovered ) the baking pan, placed back in oven, and continued baking the meatballs for exactly 35 minutes. Served meatballs with hot-cooked mashed potatoes. They were oh so yummy!! Thanx for the recipe Suzette!!
