Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
This is our go-to recipe family recipe when you need a dinner in a dash! It has become a staple comfort food.
All of us in my family (mother, sister, brother and I) make it slightly differently depending on our taste buds. I like it sweet with lots of sauce, whereas my brother would make his less “soupy”.
As a result, there is no real recipe. We just dump in the ingredients! But, for the sake of this blog post, I will write out the standard recipe. However, mix it according to your own heart’s desire!
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Ground Beef
¼ C vinegar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp molasses
Water
Form ground beef into balls.
Cook in a frying pan over medium heat.
When meatballs are fully cooked, add the other ingredients in the pan (vinegar, sugar, ketchup and molasses).
Add water – at least 1 Cup. If you like more sauce, add more water!
Let the mixture simmer in the frying pan, stirring often. Keep it simmering until the sauce is thickened and the desired consistency.
Serve over rice with mixed veggies.
Make lots.
