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.
