Sweet and Sour Meatballs


I am a big fan of sweet and sour things, so these are some of my favorite meatballs. I used to fry meatballs, but hated standing there browning them on all sides. I recommend baking them, it's a lot easier!

INGREDIENTS:
Meatballs:
1 ½ pounds ground beef
2 eggs
2/3 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons milk

For the meatballs, in a large bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients except for the ground beef and mix well. Add the ground beef and mix until combined. Form ground beef mixture into 1 to 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, turn meatballs and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until done. Drain on a paper towel.

Sauce:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Combine ingredients and blend thoroughly. Heat in a small saucepan until combined and sugar is dissolved then add meatballs. Serve over rice.
