Time 1h50m

Yield 60 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup challah bread crumbs
2 large eggs
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon fresh basil, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 1/2 cups chili sauce or 1 1/2 cups catsup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon citric acid or 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, bread crumbs, parsley, eggs, garlic, onion powder, basil and pepper.
  • Mix well but do not overwork or meat will become tough when cooked.
  • Form into small balls the size of a walnut or smaller.
  • Place meatballs in a slow oven of 300 degrees F and bake for 25 minutes.
  • In the meantime, in a crock pot set at 325 degrees F, mix together the cranberry sauce (if you so desire, you can use jellied. I prefer the whole berry.) Add remaining sauce ingredients.
  • When meatballs are baked, transfer them to the crock pot and stir into the sauce.
  • Cook in crock pot for 1 hour.
  • Lower heat to keep warm for serving.
