Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, evaporated milk, dry breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and onion soup mix. Use your hands to mix until just combined, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your broiler while the meat mixture chills and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the mixture into approximately 36 small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Broil the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, brown sugar, port wine, and the remaining Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the mixture is smooth.
- Transfer the broiled meatballs to a slow cooker and pour the prepared sauce over them. Cook on HIGH for about 1 hour.
- Alternatively, use a Dutch oven, mixing gently and simmering over medium-low heat for 30-40 minutes.
- Serve the meatballs on a platter, garnished with fresh cranberries or parsley.

Notes
For the best texture, avoid overmixing and ensure uniform meatball size for even cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
