Cranberry Cocktail Meatballs

Source: Cooks Recipes

These meatballs are formed with the basics except corn flakes replace the bread crumbs. But the best part is the sauce: cranberry and chili sauce, brown sugar and lemon juice. Sweet and spicy!

2 pounds lean ground beef 
1 cup corn flakes, crushed 
2 large eggs 
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 
1/3 cup tomato ketchup 
2 tablespoons chopped green onion 
2 tablespoons soy sauce 
1 clove garlic, crushed 
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 
1 (16-ounce) can cranberry sauce 
1 (12-ounce) can chili sauce 
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar 
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). 

In a large bowl combine ground beef, corn flakes, eggs, parsley, ketchup, green onion, soy sauce, garlic and pepper; stir well. (Use your hands if necessary to blend thoroughly.) 

Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased shallow baking sheets and bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and keep warm. 
In a medium saucepan combine cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until bubbly, stirring occasionally. Pour over meatballs and serve hot. 
Makes about 40 meatballs.
