Swedish Meatballs in Cranberry Sauce image

Another great recipe from my grandmother! When she brought this to our last family gathering, we had to wrestle each other for them. I managed to get just one. But I have the recipe now! Mwahahaha! The toughest part of this is the onion. If you have a small grater, this will help nicely. What I will do when it comes time for simmering is combine everything in a crock pot so it's easy to take with me to parties.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground meats. This will give the meatballs a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a mixture of ground beef, pork, and veal.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the meatball mixture before cooking. This will help the meatballs hold their shape. Chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Brown the meatballs in a skillet before baking. This will give them a nice crust and help to keep them moist. Brown the meatballs for about 5 minutes per side.
  • Bake the meatballs in a moderate oven. This will help to prevent them from drying out. Bake the meatballs at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce. The cranberry dipping sauce is a great option, but you could also try marinara sauce, barbecue sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

These meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. The cranberry dipping sauce is a great way to add a festive touch to the meatballs. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect meatballs every time.
