A nice Holiday appetizer for a slight change of a meatball in a different kind of sauce. This one, I believe is from Southern Living.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs ground chuck
2 large eggs
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 (16 ounce) can cranberry sauce
1 (12 ounce) jar chili sauce
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Shape mixture into about 54 (1-inch) balls.
  • Cook meatballs, in batches, in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned (about 5 minutes); remove meatballs from pan, and drain well on paper towels.
  • Stir together cranberry and chili sauces and next 5 ingredients in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and cook, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes or until smooth. Add meatballs; reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes or until centers are no longer pink.
