Cranberry Meatballs

I absolutely loved these meatballs. They were so so so good. Probably some of the best meatballs I have had. My husband and kids liked them as well (and when the kids like them, that is a WIN!)

Menu: Cranberry Meatballs (pg. 379), Cauliflower Kugel (pg. 218) and Roasted Cabbage

The cauliflower was pretty good. Not the best I have had. It does knock down the cauliflower taste a little, so if that is a problem then it might be good. Personally I like the taste, and we eat cauliflower so much that this recipe is not in my top listing.

The meatballs on the other hand... just yum!

Of course, my recipe is a bit different from the book. I am semi-lazy and dislike handling meat, so I use premade meatballs. I also could not find cranberries this time of year, so I went with a whole berry cranberry sauce. Higher sugar (and therefor carbs) but I didn't sit and eat the sauce so I think it is ok.

Cranberry Meatballs made my way (if you want the original recipe, buy the book ;)

1 bag premade meatballs

1 can tomato sauce

1 can whole berry cranberry sauce

1 Tbsp lime juice

1/4 c. water

Blend together the tomato sauce, cranberry sauce, lime juice and water until well mixed. Heat a large skillet over medium. Add meatballs. Pour cranberry mixture over top and stir a little to make sure they are all coated. Bring to simmer, turn heat to low and allow to cook, covered, for about 30 minutes.

Easiest recipe you can get really.
