4 Star Recipe

Here is another favorite in our "4 Star Series".

Alvina's German Meatballs

2 lbs ground beef
3 eggs
1 pkg onion soup mix
3/4 c fresh bread crumbs
1 can jellied cranberries
1 bottle of chili sauce
3/4 c brown sugar
14 ozs sauerkraut, partially drained

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Combine meat, eggs, soup mix and bread crumbs and shape into walnut sized meatballs. Place in the bottom of baking dish.

In a large saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar and sauerkraut until dissolved. Fill the empty chili sauce bottle with water and ad that to the pan. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Take off heat and pour over the meatballs. Bake covered for 40 minutes. Take off foil and bake uncovered for 50 minutes.

These meatballs have so much flavor and go great with mashed potatoes, noodles or spatzle. Even people who do not care for sauerkraut like these.
