Categories     Meat

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs
1 (1 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • For meatballs:.
  • Combine eggs, soup mix, cranberries, bread crumbs and parsley in bowl. Crumble in ground beef. Mix. Shape into 1-inch balls. Arrange 12 to 14 meatballs on microwave-safe plate.
  • Cover with waxed paper. Cook on high for 3 to 4 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
  • For sauce:.
  • Combine cranberry sauce, broth, brown sugar, ketschup, onions and cider vinegar in microwave-safe 2 quart dish. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 minutes, rotating once.
  • Gently stir in meatballs. Cover and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Note: I'm just not wild about cooking meat in the microwave -- so I prefer to do these the old fashioned way. I have good luck with placing the formed meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet and placing them in the oven set at 350 for about 10 minutes -- just until they firm up. I them add them to a saucepan on the stove that I have made the sauce in and let them simmer on low heat until they are cooked through.

I loved the flavor of these meatballs, but they were a bit too dense. I think I would use a lighter breadcrumb next time.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more bread crumbs or milk to the mixture next time.
