Cranberry Meatballs image

A nice Holiday appetizer for a slight change of a meatball in a different kind of sauce. This one, I believe is from Southern Living.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs ground chuck
2 large eggs
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 (16 ounce) can cranberry sauce
1 (12 ounce) jar chili sauce
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Shape mixture into about 54 (1-inch) balls.
  • Cook meatballs, in batches, in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned (about 5 minutes); remove meatballs from pan, and drain well on paper towels.
  • Stir together cranberry and chili sauces and next 5 ingredients in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and cook, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes or until smooth. Add meatballs; reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes or until centers are no longer pink.
  • Note: To make ahead, place cooked meatballs in a zip-top plastic freezer bag, and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated.

I love how easy these meatballs are to make. I can throw them in the slow cooker and they're ready when I get home from work.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover cranberries. They're also a great make-ahead meal.

I love the combination of flavors in these meatballs. The cranberries add a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the sauce.
