Instructions
-
Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, corn flake crumbs, ketchup, soya sauce, parsley flakes, finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, and ground pork. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat.
-
-
Shape the Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. This size is ideal for cooking evenly and allows for easy serving.
-
Bake the Meatballs: Arrange the meatballs on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the meatballs for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them drain on paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
-
Prepare the Cranberry Sauce: In a large pan over medium heat, combine the jellied cranberry sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Stir the mixture often as it heats, allowing the cranberry sauce to melt and blend seamlessly with the other ingredients, forming a delicious, tangy sauce.
-
Combine and Heat: Once the sauce is heated through and well combined, gently add the baked meatballs to the pan. Stir to coat the meatballs with the cranberry sauce mixture. Allow them to cook together for an additional few minutes, ensuring the meatballs are heated thoroughly.
-
Serve: Once everything is well combined and hot, serve the Cranberried Meatballs over a bed of hot, cooked noodles. This pairing enhances the dish’s flavors and makes for a comforting meal that’s sure to please.
Enjoy your Cranberried Meatballs with loved ones, making for an unforgettable dining experience that melds savory and sweet in every bite!
