Cocktail Meatballs with Cranberry Sauce

Показать описание
When it's the holidays, there is something so festive about a meatball as an appetizer. These cocktail meatballs are slathered in a cranberry sauce that is slightly sweet with a citrus undertone!

------------------------------

INGREDIENTS⁠

For the meatballs:⁠

- 2 slices bread (approx. 3 oz)⁠
- 1/4 cup whole milk⁠
- 1 1/2 tsp salt⁠
- 1 tsp pepper⁠
- 2 tbsp grated onion⁠
- 1 clove garlic, minced⁠
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce⁠
- 1 large egg, beaten⁠
- 1 lb ground beef⁠
- 1 lb ground pork⁠

For the sauce:⁠

- 12 oz bottled barbeque sauce⁠
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries⁠
- 1 cup orange marmalade⁠

INSTRUCTIONS⁠

For the meatballs:⁠

- Preheat oven to 375°F.⁠

- In a large bowl, tear up the bread into pieces and add the milk. Mash the milk and bread together to form a paste. Add in the salt, pepper, grated onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Mix to combine. Add in the ground beef and pork.⁠

- Use hands or an electric mixer to combine until all the ingredients are completely combined and smooth. Use a scoop or spoon to make 20 1-ounce size balls.⁠

- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs. Allow the meatballs to brown on two sides, about 3-5 minutes. Once browned, place the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until they reach 160°F, 15-20 minutes. While the meatballs are roasting, prepare the sauce.⁠

For the sauce:⁠

- In the same skillet in which the meats were browned, add the barbeque sauce, marmalade, and cranberries. Over low heat, bring to a simmer. Continue to cook over a low simmer until the cranberries begin to burst and are softened, 12-15 minutes.⁠

- Once the meatballs are baked and fully cooked, remove them from the oven and add them to the prepared sauce. Spoon the sauce over the meatballs coating them completely. Serve directly from the skillet or set on a platter.

I made these this weekend for a Christmas get together. They were a hit. I normally make another version, but I loved using the orange marmalade and fresh cranberries. 😊🎄🤶🎅

I've heard about this type of recipe years ago but never tried it. The cranberry sauce has me wondering if I would like it. I know people rave about it so maybe I'll think about giving it a try!

Wonderful idea to use sugar free bbq sauce. I bought some fresh cranberries for Thanksgiving that I didn't end up using. This recipe will definitely be made for my Christmas Eve pot luck.

I've made something similar using a bit of red wine or jarred chili sauce, frozen mixed berries and mixed berry jam! Delish!

If I was taking these to someone else's house I would put them in a small crock pot then keep them on low. Yum
