For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Fresh cranberries can be used instead of jellied cranberry sauce. Simmer fresh cranberries with sugar and a little water until they burst and soften, then proceed with the recipe. If the sauce becomes too thick during the final baking stage, add a tablespoon of water or lemon juice to thin it out.
