Christmas Meatballs

By kimfitz

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the eggs, soup mix, bread crumbs, cranberries and parsley. Crumble beef over mixture; mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.
In a large pot combine sauce ingredients. Cook until heated through, mix with cooked meatballs. I like to keep them warm in a crock pot.
