Cocktail Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 egg
• 2 T. bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup seltzer
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1 (15 ounce) can cranberry sauce
• Rice pilaf, cooked according to package directions (optional)

Instructions

1. Place beef, egg, bread crumbs, seltzer, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix lightly but well enough to combine all ingredients.
2. Shape into 3/4 inch round balls, using your hands, a melon baller or a small scoop. Don’t over handle them, though, or they’ll get tough. Set aside.
3. In a 2- to 3- quart saucepan, heat cranberry sauce over medium heat, stirring. Bring to a simmer.
4. Drop meatballs into sauce. Return to a simmer. Cook, covered for 45 minutes.
5. Serve with a toothpick in each meatball or over rice pilaf if desired.
