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.

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?
Shawn
I wouldn’t classify these as spicy! 🙂

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!
