Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

MEATBALLS:
1 1/2 lb ground beef (80-20 or 90-10)
1/2 lb pork suasage
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
2 slice white bread, crumbled
2 eggs, beaten
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 c dried parsley flakes
SAUCE:
1 can(s) jellied cranberry sauce, 14 oz.
1 jar(s) chili sauce (I use 12 oz jar Heinz)
3 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all meatball ingredients and mix well.
  • 2. Form into walnut-size balls. Place a single layer in a 9"x13" pan or baking dish. It will be full.
  • 3. Place all sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until melted, stirring to combine.
  • 4. Pour sauce over meatballs.
  • 5. Place in a preheated 350* oven UNCOVERED for 45 min.
  • 6. NOTE: These are wonderful to make ahead and reheat or freeze after they are cooked. You can make small meatballs and serve with toothpicks at a party or just make the meatballs and use them with your own spaghetti sauce or gravy. I'd give them 10 stars.
