  • 3 eggs
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sauerkraut
  • 1 (14 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce (ketchup based, like Heinz, not the Asian chile sauce)
  • 1 1/2 cups water (or use the chili sauce bottle to get all the bits left over)

Method

  • Mix first four ingredients and shape into 1 inch meatballs.
  • Place meatballs in a 9 X 13 baking pan.
  • Pour remaining ingredients in a sauce pan.
  • Bring to a boil.
