Sweet and Sour Meatballs

SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS


1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/3 C plain bread crumbs
1/4 C milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 egg
1 (11.5oz) bottle of sweet and sour sauce for basting or simmering
additional sweet and sour sauce for dipping (optional)

*Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl mix beef, onion, bread crumbs, milk, salt, pepper and egg. Shape mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place into ungreased 9x13 baking dish. cover with entire bottle of sweet and sour sauce. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until meatballs are no longer pink in the center.


Ready for the oven.



I didn't chop the onions as finely as I should have. I also threw them in a warm crockpot after I pulled them out of the oven since I wanted them to stay warm for a get together. I also added a small can of pineapple tidbits to the crockpot to give it more of a sweet flavor. I picked up a bottle of sweet and sour sauce for dipping too. There is a big difference in flavor, so if you do get the extra sauce for dipping, make sure it's the right one. It didn't really need the additional sauce, but it was nice to have it available as an option.

These were really good and easy. Another recipe I will definitely make again.
