My cousin made these for our cookout and everyone lost their minds

Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Cranberry BBQ Meatballs

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Arrange meatballs: Spread the frozen meatballs into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.

3. Make sauce: In a medium microwave-safe bowl (or a small saucepan over low heat), combine the BBQ sauce and jellied cranberry sauce. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable.

4. Coat meatballs: Pour the cranberry BBQ sauce evenly over the meatballs and gently toss until every piece is coated.

5. Bake covered: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes until the meatballs are hot throughout and the sauce is bubbling.

6. Uncover and caramelize: Remove the foil, stir to re-coat, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and turns sticky and glossy. (Optional: Broil on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes for deeper caramelized edges.)

7. Rest and serve: Allow the meatballs to rest for 5 minutes for the glaze to cling before serving warm with toothpicks.
