Sweet-and-Sour Meatballs

Category: Meatballs

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup cornflake crumbs
1/3 cup dried parsley
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons minced onion
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
1 can (16 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 bottle (12 ounces) chili sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat the shortening in a large skillet. Fry the meatballs until they are golden brown. You will have to fry them in several batches. As the meatballs brown, transfer them to a shallow baking pan.

When the meatballs are browned, make the sauce. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the meatballs. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes and serve hot.
