Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Arrange the meatballs in a casserole dish and pop them in the oven just long enough to warm through, about 10 minutes. While those are heating, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cloves, garlic salt, and the beef bouillon cube in a saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring frequently, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Once the meatballs are warmed, pour the sauce over them and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Return everything to the oven and bake until the meatballs are heated through and nicely coated in sauce, roughly 20 more minutes.
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve these meatballs with a tangy cranberry sauce or a rich gravy. They also pair well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread for a complete holiday meal.
How To Store This Recipe
Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months; just thaw overnight before reheating gently.
