Looking for the perfect appetizer to serve this holiday? These Cranberry Meatballs with Sour Cream Herb Dip are bursting with flavor and a definite crowd pleaser!
We’ve been making these classic cranberry meatballs since before I can remember.
But what I’m most excited about is this super fresh and delicious Sour Cream Herb Dip!
One of my favorite things about the holidays is the food. Obviously.
Not just because of all the delicious flavors happening, but because of the fact that food brings everyone together. I love gathering together around the kitchen island and prepping meals with my kids.
Whenever we all get together in the kitchen it seems like laughter and smiles are always bound to happen. My little girls get more confident in the kitchen each time, and take pride in the meals they help to prepare!
My daughter had the best time making this Sour Cream Herb Dip with me. She was beaming with pride as we served the dip with the Cranberry Meatballs.
The dip is also great with fresh veggies or dolloped on just about anything!
But those sweet and spicy meatballs are completely irresistible when dipped into the herb infused sour cream sauce.

It looks so good! It’s been a long time from the last time we had meatballs, gonna try this recipe! Thank you for sharing!
This is great, That’s a great website, it really is what I was looking for, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this great. Keep sharing more useful and conspicuous stuff like this. Thank you so much
I can’t wait to make these for the Bible study group that meets at our home! I do have some folks (myself included LOL) who are more sensitive to spicy things. Would you say these are very spicy or just mildly spicy?
I wouldn’t classify these as spicy! 🙂
These look so good!! 😀
Your meatball recipe was awesome,
Can you do thease meatballs in the crock pot?
You sure can! Just keep them on low so the sauce does not burn.
These meatballs were awesome !
Yes is it jellied cranberries or whole sauce? Canned?
Going to try these for Christmas dinner!
I used the jellied kind for this recipe.
I am going to make this for a cookie swap I am hosting. Can’t wait! Quick question- do you use whole cranberry sauce, or the jellied kind?
Thanks!
These sound do delicious! Do you use whole cranberry sause or jelliesd?
Sorry, I didn’t do a very good job at typing!!!
This sounds amazing! And like the perfect appetizer for having people over to watch Sunday afternoon football. My fiancee loves meatballs, so I’m certain she’ll be excited about this recipe. I’m really curious to try the sour cream herb dip!
Thanks for posting Shannon! Cheers!
What a great appetizer!
WOW! I am dying to try these! They look delicious!
That dip would be amazing on vegetables too but I definitely need to make these meatballs happen, stat!
These are the most perfect looking meatballs. Ever.
I love using meatballs as appetizer… very excited to try this recipe. I was wondering if you would share exactly what frozen meatballs you use. I have tried to many and I hate the ones that have hard tiny pieces in them or just a weird taste to them all together. I mean did you use like Frozen Wal-Mart brand and obviously not the Swedish ones? lol, Thanks in advance for responding, I just love for my food to taste excellento…..
I know what you mean about meatballs. My favorite are the Trader Joe’s brand mini meatballs. Small and delicious!
Meatballs were great
