(Almost) Grandma Alta's Meatballs--Aka My Favorite Meatball
Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (GF work great)
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 1 onion, grated
- salt
- pepper
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce
- 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
- "Combine first 5 ingredients, season with salt and pepper and chill (very important).
- While this is chilling, Combine the last 4 ingredients in a non-reactive pot. Simmer.
- Form meat mixture into balls and lay out in a 9X13 baking dish (any size meatball should work). You don't need to bake them or brown them! They hold together well, as long as they chill first.
- You can now carefully add the meatballs to your sauce and simmer for 1 hour OR you can pour the sauce over the meatballs, cover them with foil, and bake 1 hour at 325°F.
- Love you, Mom".
