Cocktail Meatballs

Cocktail Meatballs (originally from here - but I modified as it says below)

Notes: These were delicious. I didn't actually measure everything, and I think I added slightly too much vinegar from the chili sauce recipe). I tried adding a little more sugar to counter it, and it sorta helped. I would definitely just put a dash of vinegar next time.

1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
2 tbsp water
1/2 c. bread crumbs
3 tbsp minced onion

1 (8oz) can jellied cranberry sauce
3/4 c. chili sauce (see recipe below)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- I added a little bit of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix ground beef, egg, water, bread crumbs, and minced onion. Roll into small meatballs.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once.
4. In a slow cooker or large saucepan (I did the sauce pan) over low heat, blend the sauce ingredients and add meatballs. Simmer for 1 hour before serving.

Chili Sauce Recipe (from here)

1 c. tomato sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp vinegar (i used cider vinegar, but not for any particular reason)
1/4 tsp allspice
