1 beaten egg
1/2 small onion, minced
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
Sauce:
20 ounces whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1. Mix first five ingredients well. Shape into bite-sized meatballs.
2. Bake in conventional oven at 350 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes. Be sure not to overcook.
3. Meanwhile, combine whole berry cranberry sauce and tomato sauce.
4. Simmer sauce on stovetop for approximately 15-20 minutes. Pour over meatballs and serve.

Cooking Tips: When shaping meatballs, use a melon baller for consistent meatball size. Then roll the balls in your hands to shape them, occasionally wetting your hands with cold water to prevent sticking.
