Ingredients (Yields ~20 servings)
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
2 large eggs
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (16‑ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
1 ½ cups ketchup
2 ½ tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
1. Prepare the Oven and Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Gather and measure all ingredients before beginning.
2. Make the Meatball Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, parsley, grated onion, soy sauce, and garlic powder.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Shape the Meatballs
Using about 2 teaspoons of meat mixture per meatball, roll into uniform balls.
Arrange the meatballs in a large, deep baking dish, spacing them evenly.
4. Bake the Meatballs
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned.
Carefully drain any excess grease from the dish.
5. Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the jellied cranberry sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook, stirring frequently, until the cranberry sauce melts and the sugar fully dissolves, forming a smooth sauce.
6. Add the Sauce and Finish Baking
Pour the warm sauce evenly over the baked meatballs.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens into a glaze and the meatballs are fully cooked through.
7. Serve
Serve warm as cocktail meatballs or as part of a buffet spread.
Keep warm in a chafing dish or slow cooker if serving at a party.
