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.
