CRANBERRY SAUCE MEATBALLS

Cranberry Sauce Meatballs image

Substituting French's® French-Fried Onions for bread crumbs, kicks this recipe up a notch. These meatballs are easy to make and much tastier than the frozen variety. Delicious with the traditional cranberry/chili sauce or your own favorite sauce.

Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 pounds ground beef
½ cup milk
1 small onion, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed French-fried onions (such as French's®)
1 (14 ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce (such as Ocean Spray®)
1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce (such as Heinz®)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Beat eggs in a mixing bowl. Add beef, milk, onion, and salt; mix well. Sprinkle in crumbled fried onions and mix until evenly combined.
Form the mixture into 40 meatballs and place into a 9x13-inch and 9x9-inch baking dish; set aside.
Blend cranberry sauce and chili sauce together in a bowl with an electric hand mixer.
Pour 2/3 of the sauce mixture over the meatballs. Brush the remaining sauce over to completely cover the meatballs.
Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 1 hour.
