Sweet & Sour Meatballs.
Two words to describe this dish: INSANELY EASY! If that doesn’t get you… they are also very delicious! In fact I had extra sauce left and my father implored me to make another batch tomorrow! Okay… so that’s a winner 🙂
This recipe is easy and very flexible. You add more or less to impact the sauce flavor. We like it spicy so I made it spicy. You can cut that back and make it more on the sweet side. Whatever you want. Awesome party idea too!
Ingredients:
1.25 lbs of ground beef (I used 92% lean)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 egg
1/4 cup of Panko bread crumbs
4 ounces of Sriracha sauce
10 ounces of crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of lemon juice
Directions:
In a stand mixer or mixing bowl combine the meat, garlic & onion powders, egg and bread crumbs. Scoop with a melon baller and place on a platter. Repeat until you’ve used up all the meat.
In a saucepan over medium/high heat, add the Sriracha sauce, crushed tomatoes, sugar and lemon juice. Whisk until combined. Once it starts to boil, add the meatballs gently and cover. Turn to low/medium flame and simmer for at least 30 minutes. I garnished with spring onions. Could easily prepare ahead of time and keep warm in your crock pot for a party 🙂 Serve & enjoy!

Beverley, Sriracha sauce is a hot chili sauce (similar to Frank’s Red Hot sauce). You can find it in the ethnic part of your grocery store 🙂
