class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763058000365\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make these ahead of time?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! You can bake the meatballs a day or two ahead, then store them in the fridge. When you&rsquo;re ready to serve, reheat them gently in the cranberry sauce until warm and glossy.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763058017550\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I freeze them?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely. Let the baked meatballs cool completely, then freeze them in a single layer on a tray. Once solid, transfer to a freezer bag. They&rsquo;ll keep for up to 2 months. Freeze the sauce separately. Reheat together on the stove or in a slow cooker.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763058031230\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use another type of meat?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Ground beef, turkey, or even a mix of pork and beef all work well. Turkey makes them leaner, but pork adds that signature juicy texture.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763058047358\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why are my meatballs tough?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">They were probably overmixed or had too many breadcrumbs. Mix the meat just until everything is combined and soft. A light hand gives tender meatballs every time.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763058058245\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I keep them warm for a party?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Transfer them to a slow cooker, pour the sauce over top, and keep on Low. Give them a stir every now and then so they stay coated and saucy.<\/p> <\/details> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14.jpg\" alt=\"Large skillet filled with cranberry meatballs in rich red cranberry sauce, garnished with parsley and ready to serve.\" class=\"wp-image-97878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-750x938.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-730x913.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-180x225.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-177x221.jpg 177w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cranberry-meatballs-1-14.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-try-these-meatball-recipes-next\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_These_Meatball_Recipes_Next\"><\/span>Try These Meatball Recipes Next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/pomegranate-cocktail-meatballs\/\">Pomegranate Cocktail Meatballs&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/salisbury-steak-meatballs-with-gravy-and-mashed-potatoes\/\">Salisbury Steak Meatballs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/porcupine-meatballs\/\">Porcupine Meatballs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/stout-meatballs-with-bbq-sauce\/\">Stout Meatballs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/crockpot-sweet-and-tangy-asian-meatballs\/\">Crockpot Sweet and Tangy Asian Meatballs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/firecracker-chicken-meatballs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Firecracker Chicken Meatballs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div id=\"oc-recipe-container\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-16976\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"16976\" data-servings=\"8\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-custom-recipe-card-by-once-coupled---no-cook-mode\"><div class=\"card-before recipe-before\"><div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"featured-content location-fwc-content location-fwc-content block-tip-box style-tip location-recipe-before\" id=\"block_ae02589cc92051b440dad4c6384322fe\">\n\n\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content\">\n\n\t<div class=\"section-description\"><p><strong>Before You Begin!<\/strong> If you make this, please <a href=\"#respond\">leave a review and rating<\/a> letting us know how you liked this recipe!
