Sweet & Sour Meatballs

Sweet & Sour Meatballs

2# Ground Chuck
2 Eggs
1 Cup Breadcrumbs
1/3 Cup parsley
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (or you can chop fresh onion and add to taste)
2 Tablespoons soy sauce

Combine all ingredients from above. Roll into meatballs and place in corning ware dish. Set aside. Turn oven to 350 degrees.

1 12oz bottle Chili Sauce
1 15oz can Whole berry cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
(I add a couple more dashes of soy sauce)

Combine in saucepan on stove. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until sauce gets thickened. Take sauce off stove, pour over already prepared meatballs.

Place meatballs and sauce in oven and bake for at least one hour. (the longer they bake, the yummier they are…just watch that you don’t overheat and burn the sugars)

My notes: I made this party not long ago. I cooked the meatballs for about 1 hour 15 minutes in the oven, then transferred to a crockpot. They continued to simmer on the “warm” setting for the remainder of the evening. When I pulled the last three out, they were still delicious (and there was still sauce left) after an additional 3 hours of cooking.
