Making Cranberry Sauerkraut Meatballs is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped sauerkraut, cranberry sauce, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined. Then, shape them into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
5. Brown Meatballs: Carefully add the meatballs to the skillet. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides.
6. Bake: Once browned, transfer the meatballs to a baking dish. Pour any remaining cranberry sauce on top for added flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
7. Garnish: Once removed from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

These steps will ensure your meatballs come out delicious and perfectly cooked, making your cooking experience enjoyable.
