Time 1h20m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs
2 tablespoons grated onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (16 ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce (such as Ocean Spray®)
1 ½ cups ketchup
2 ½ tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, eggs, grated onion, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Pinch off about 2 teaspoons of meat mixture per meatball and roll into small meatballs. Arrange meatballs in a large, deep baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are browned, about 25 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  • Combine jellied cranberry sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir the sauce until cranberry sauce has melted and brown sugar has dissolved.
  • Pour the sauce over meatballs and bake until sauce forms a glaze and meatballs are no longer pink inside, 25 to 30 more minutes.

I've made these meatballs several times and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes and gravy, but they are also great on their own.

These meatballs were easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of ground beef and pork and they were very moist. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
