Awesome Meatballs by April

Source of Recipe

April 2001


List of Ingredients

2 pounds of lean ground beef
1/4 cup water
1 small onion grated
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup of crackers crumbs or bread crumbs
1 teaspoon of salt
1 can (1 pound) jellied cranberry sauce
1 bottle ( 12 ounces) chili sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice


Recipe

Combine the meat with the water, onion, eggs crumbs, and salt and shape the mixture into bite size meatballs. In a large saucepan combine the cranberry sauce, chili sauce brown sugar, lemon juice. Heat and stir until smooth. add the uncooked meatballs to the sauce. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Skim off the fat and serve the meatballs in a fondue pot with fancy tooth picks. Serves about 8

What I like to do is. I make the meatballs and place them in the crock-pot ove night. Then when I am ready to serve them I drain off the fat and make the sauce and pour that over the meatballs and let them cook in the sauce a little bit and then I serve them on a platter with fancy toothpicks.
