Kitten’s Glazed Mini Garlic Cocktail Meatballs

2 pounds extra lean ground beef

6-8 garlic cloves, minced

1 large egg (can use 2 small eggs)

2 (1 ounce) packages dry onion soup mix

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or use Tabasco, adjust to desired heat level)

2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

2-3 tablespoons grated freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs (may need more)

1 teaspoon seasoned salt (no more than 1 teaspoon salt or the meatballs will be too salty!)

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

SAUCE:

2 (8 ounce) cans jellied cranberry sauce(can use 2-1/2 cans or even 3 if desired)

1 1/2 cups mild Heinz chili sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2-3 teaspoons lemon juice

hot sauce (to taste, I use Frank’s Hot Sauce)

INSTRUCTIONS:————————————————-

Place all ingredients in a large bowl; mix well using clean hands (you might need more breadcrumbs to hold the mixture together).

Shape into about 1-inch balls or smaller.

Place on a greased baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 22-25 minutes or until cooked through or you may cook the meatballs in a skillet.

For sauce;  in a large saucepan over medium heat blend the cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice (start with 2 tablespoons lemon juice) and hot sauce to taste; mix to combine then adjust ingredients to suit taste if desired.

Add in the cooked meatballs and simmer for about 40 minutes.
