Vegetarian Cranberry Meatballs image

These are wonderful vegetarian meatballs with a sweet and sour sauce. They're simple to make and they disappear very quickly. Make these for Christmas holiday parties. If you don't have veggie burger patties, you may use TVP, textured vegetable protein, that's available at most health food stores.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 eggs, beaten
1 cup crushed corn flake cereal

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
8 vegetarian burger patties

1 (16 ounce) can cranberry sauce
1 cup Russian-style salad dressing
1 teaspoon brown sugar

These meatballs were a bit bland. I think they needed more seasoning. I also found that the cranberry sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

These meatballs were OK. They were a little dry and the cranberry sauce was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would prefer a different recipe next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these meatballs. I'm not usually a fan of vegetarian meatballs, but these were really flavorful and moist. I will definitely be making them again.

I love how easy these meatballs are to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my food processor and pulsed until they were combined. Then I baked them in the oven for 20 minutes and they were done! They were perfect for a quick and easy weeknight
