  •  1 pound lean ground beef

  •  3 tablespoons minced onion
  •  1 8 ounce can jellied cranberry sauce

Instructions

  1. Turn the oven up to 350.

  2. In a big bowl, mix up the beef, egg, water, bread crumbs, and minced onion. Roll that beefy mixture into small meatballs.

  3. Bake the balls in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them over midway through.

  4. In a slow cooker, blend together the cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Add in the meatballs, and let everything simmer for an hour.
