WEEKNIGHT SAUERBRATEN MEATBALLS



Weeknight Sauerbraten Meatballs image

Our traditional holiday meal is sauerbraten and gravy, butter-sauteed homemade egg noodles, potato balls, sweet and sour red cabbage, and freshly cooked apples. A lot of work, but worth it once a year! This is a quick recipe to enjoy the sauerbraten flavor without waiting 5 days for a beef roast to marinate. And you'll have plenty of gravy to spoon over your buttered egg noodles and potatoes.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
1 pound lean ground beef
½ cup minced onion
⅓ cup gingersnap cookie crumbs
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups beef broth
½ cup gingersnap cookie crumbs
2 tablespoons gingersnap cookie crumbs, or more as needed
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar, or more to taste
3 tablespoons raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Spray the rack with cooking spray.
  • Combine ground beef, onion, gingersnap crumbs, water, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Shape into 24 meatballs using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking rack.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 18 to 20 minutes.
  • While the meatballs are baking, whisk beef broth, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons gingersnap crumbs, vinegar, and sugar together in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until gravy thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Add more gingersnap crumbs for a thicker gravy, or some water for a thinner consistency.
  • Stir cooked meatballs and raisins into the gravy. Cover and simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.

GINGERSNAP MEATBALLS

The unusual and very tasty sauce for these meatballs contains crushed gingersnaps. This is a scaled down adaptation of a recipe that I found in one of my Taste Of Home magazines. I think it is good served with macaroni and cheese and a crisp salad.
