Christmas Meatballs


  • Author: Garianne Gagliardi

Ingredients

  •   3 lbs ground beef
  •   1 (14oz) can evaporated milk
  •   1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
  •   2 tosp Worcestershire sauce
  •   1 packet onion soup mix
  •   2 cups ketchup
  •   1 cup brown sugar
  •   1/2 cup port wine
  •   1 cup fresh cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Make the Meatball Base

  3. Roll the Meatballs: Scoop and roll into even, golf-ball–sized meatballs. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake: for 18–22 minutes, or until fully cooked through and lightly browned.

  5. Make the Christmas Sauce

  6. Combine & Simmer

    Add baked meatballs directly into the sauce. Gently toss to coat and simmer together for 10 minutes so all that flavor soaks in.

  7. Serve Warm: Transfer to a serving dish or slow cooker on warm. Serve with toothpicks for easy holiday snacking or eat as is!
