Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground pork 1/3 cup ketchup 2 eggs beaten 1 cup bread crumbs 2 Tablespoons minced dried onion or 1/4 cup MINCED onion 2 Tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup cut up dried cranberries 1 or 2 Tablespoons dried parsley Sauce: 1 - 14oz can Cranberry Jelly Sauce 2 or 3 Tablespoons brown sugar 1 cup ketchup 1 or 2 Tablespoons lemon juice (2 tbs is better) Mix all ingredients (except sauce ingredients) and then make your meatballs. I baked my approximately 1 inch meatballs for 20 minutes at 350F. While the meatballs are baking, combine all your sauce ingredient except lemon juice and start on low heat to slowly bring up sauce to a simmer. Take your time with this as the meatballs will be in the oven for a while. Add your cooked meatballs to the sauce and simmer slowly for 15/20 minutes, then add your lemon juice. Some parsley on top of the finished meatballs looks nice against the deep red sauce. You can use all ground beef or all ground pork if you wish. Thank you for watching!

No I don't cater. I sort of did before Covid. Every week I would make lunch at Dad's and my sisters would always come. Dad looked forward to that so much. Hopefully by Springtime or so it will start up again.
@@MichaelsHomeCooking I know you will do it again. What a joy to cook for your family! Food really does taste better when it is made for you by someone who cares. Happy holidays, and I hope you have another video soon. I was going to ask if you would make another Christmas cookie this year. 😊
@@suejackson5023 Cookies! I don't make them very often, yet I know cookies are not really difficult. There is only one more Saturday before Christmas. That being said I will try. I have something in mind and I do not have everything. I get my groceries via Walmart pickup and I am always shorted something. Maybe the planets will align and I will get it done. I will try, especially since it is coming from you Sue :-)
Perfect timing Michael. I'll be making these tomorrow. Great idea to use the chopped dried cranberries. I have used prunes before. It adds alot of moisture to the meatballs. I also likedxhow you carried the flavors over in the sauce. Thanks Michael 👏👏👏
I worked in a deli years ago where we made our own bbq sauce specifically for meatballs. We added grape jelly to it which I thought was so strange. I know that cranberry sauce will make these killer! Can't wait to give them a try! Hope all is well with you and yours!
Yes there is a recipe using like Heinz Chili Sauce and I believe equal parts grape jelly. I think I've had that years ago and sure that I liked it. I saw this on taste of home website, but I added dried cranberries to the mix. It's good, but fairly sweet and would not want it often. Thank you so much Debbie :-)
I love cranberries and your recipe looks fantastic! What a great idea to utilize them in meatballs. I'm sure they tasted delicious, they sure looked good! Happy Christmas to you all and hope the 2020 Covid-19 Shitshow doesn't affect you all too much for 2021.
