8 servings
For the meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- ½ lb ground pork
Chef's tipUse a plant-based ground product and cook according to package directions; add oil only if needed. - ⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp milk
Chef's tipUse plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts. - 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the sauce
- 1 can (14 oz) whole-berry cranberry sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
