Sweet & Sour Meatballs

Meatballs:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup onion
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 3/4 cup bread or cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice (I use the latter)
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Blend well.
  3. Shape into 1 inch balls and place in a 9*9 sprayed dish.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
  5. Add the sauce about 15 minutes into cooking.

Sweet & Sour Sauce:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2/3 cup pineapple juice (I just buy the little flip top cans and use one of those)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  1. In a small saucepan, combine only the brown sugar and the cornstarch. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Stir in vinegar, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic powder and ginger.
  3. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly.
  4. Pour over the meatballs as they finish cooking in the oven.
