Ingredients
Meatballs:
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef or lean ground turkey
- ¾ cup quick oats
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons finely minced onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for coating meatballs
- canola oil
Sauce:
- 1 (12-ounce) (12-ounce) jar of cocktail sauce
- 1 can whole cranberry sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- For the meatballs: preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all the meatball ingredients (except the oil and flour). Roll into medium-small balls (about the size of a ping pong ball – if you want specifics) and place on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in the freezer for five minutes.
- After 5 minutes, remove meatballs from freezer and immediately dredge in unseasoned flour. Heat 1/3 cup canola oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, add meatballs and brown on all sides (but don’t cook through). Place the meatballs in a single layer in a 9X13-inch baking dish and make the sauce.
- For the sauce: combine the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and cook in the oven for 40 minutes, tossing halfway through to coat the meatballs in the sauce. Serve with toothpicks.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: you can make the meatballs the day beforehand (including cooking them by themselves in the 9X13-inch pan) and then the next day, place the meatballs and heated sauce in the crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours to heat through.
