I had been looking for a good sweet and sour meatball recipe, and this one is by far the best that I have tried. I usually double the recipe so we can have leftovers.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup milk
salt and pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) can water
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup catsup
Directions:
1. Combine and form into balls, place in a 9x13 baking dish. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Bake till meatballs are brown and cooked through.(usally on takes 15-20 minutes or so).
3. Combine sauce ingredients in a pot on the stove, heat through. Remove from heat, pour over meatballs, and cook in over for 20 minutes or so.
4. Now just so you know I did adapt the recipe to my liking for the cooking part. The original recipe said to place uncooked meatballs in baking dish. Pour the sauce over them and bake for 1-1 1/2 hours. But for my preference I found it to greasy done this way, and my husband didn't like iti done that way either. So I cook them first and then put the sauce inches Now we are not big on sweet and sour meatballs but LOVE these!
