Recipe View In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, parsley, onion, soy sauce, and garlic powder until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.

Recipe View Return the baking dish to the oven and continue baking for another 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened into a beautiful glaze and the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink inside.

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.
