Now that we’ve drooled over the visuals, here’s what you need to whip up these magical meatballs:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup jellied cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s time to get that cooking magic happening!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped onion, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is blended like a rock band hitting the right notes.
- Shape the mixture into delightful little meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Come on, they deserve a cozy spot!
- While the meatballs are hanging out in the oven for about 25 minutes, let’s whip up our saucy goodness. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the jellied cranberry sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir this mixture like you mean it until it’s well blended and bubbly.
- Once the meatballs are perfectly golden and cooked through, toss them in the cranberry sauce until they’re generously coated. This step is what dreams are made of, folks!
- Serve them hot and watch how they disappear faster than you can say, “More meatballs, please!”
