Aunt Jenny's Meatballs
Source: cdkitchen
1 1/2 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh onion
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (16-ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
1 (12-ounce) bottle chili sauce Parsley sprigs (optional)
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; shape mixture into 30 (1.5 inch) meatballs. (Note: for me, I ended up with about 50 very small almost bite-size meatballs. It made it fun to eat!) Combine ketchup, sugar, juice, and sauces in an electric slow cooker; gently stir in meatballs.
Cover with lid; cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours. Garnish with parsley, if desired. (serving size: 3 meatballs and about 2 tablespoons sauce) From Cooking Light

This is very rich tasting but low-fat. We really loved it and it makes a lot of food! The second time we made it, I cut back on the chili sauce by 1/3 cup and added an extra 1/3 cup ketchup. We liked it better that way, a little less bite, but either way it was a winner!
