Baked Sweet & Sour Meatballs

Tangy sweet and sour sauce infuses your meatballs with flavor.


Covering meatballs with a tangy sweet and sour sauce infuses them with flavor. After you bake a fresh batch of meatballs, you simply cook them in a homemade sauce so that the meat can absorb the flavor. Serve the meatballs as an appetizer at a party or transform them into a main course meal by serving them over a bed of rice with saut ed vegetables.

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.


2. Add 1 lb. of lean ground beef to a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce and 1 egg. Mix the ingredients together and then form 1 1/2 inch balls.








3. Place the meatballs onto a cookie sheet. Bake the meatballs in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown.


4. Place the baked meatballs into a slow cooker.


5. Add 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp. cornstarch and 1 tbsp. soy sauce to a saucepot. Bring the mixture to a boil.


6. Pour the homemade sweet and sour sauce over the meatballs. Add 1-13 oz. can of drained pineapple chunks to the slow cooker. Set the cooker on low and cook the meatball for eight hours.
