Cracker Barrel FINAL

The holidays are here and that means there are tons of parties happening. I am always big on making yummy dishes for these parties. If you are looking for my recipes using Kraft products head on over HERE there are tons of recipes.

What I love about party food is that it can be tons of flavor in one bite – and that is what this meatball is all about. Plus they are really easy to make and I cannot wait to share the recipe with you.

I went to my local Walmart and the first thing I picked up were Cracker Barrel Cheese Trays. I am so excited to find these – I am a cheese girl and I love Cracker Barrel cheese – I love that they are cut for crackers or just enjoying. These trays are perfect to have on hand for your next party or whenever.

I decided to make holiday meatballs to pair with the Cracker Barrel Cheese Trays – and boy is it a great combination.

Yep this is everything you will need – for the glaze I am using cranberry sauce thinned with a little bit of water. These meatballs are so good you really do not need a glaze but I love that combination of sweet and savory especially with the Cracker Barrel Cheese Trays.

You are simply going to mix the meatball ingredients together – make sure to fold everything together – you want to make sure to keep the texture of the meat very much similar to ground beef.

You will be pan frying the outside of the meatballs – simply place the pan in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes

Make sure to cut one of the meatballs to make sure it is fully cooked

With a brush – brush the cranberry sauce onto the meatball

Add a tooth pick and enjoy!
