SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS



Sweet and Sour Meatballs image

My Mom's sweet and sour meatballs recipe. These meatballs are baked in the oven in a retro sweet and sour sauce that can't be beat!

Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds ground beef
2 large eggs
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup of diced onion ((if you like onion in them))
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 °F
  • Mix the sauce ingredients together in a medium sized sauce pan until fully combined. Bring to a low rolling boil, and cook until it thickens. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Combine the meatball ingredients : breadcrumbs, garlic, salt, pepper, egg, onions and ground beef together in a stand mixer bowl. Use the paddle attachment and mix on low until combined. This makes for the BEST distribution of egg and crumbs through the meat!
  • Roll the meat mixture into meatballs, whichever size you want. I prefer slightly larger ones, they don't dry out as quickly.
  • Pop them into the 375 degrees oven and start them cooking.
  • After about 20 minutes, take the meatballs out for a second, and drain the fat out of them.
  • Now you can cover those meatballs up with sauce. Pour the sauce over the meatball, covering them completely.
  • Finish cooking them until done, and they look oh-so saucy and delicious. This can take up to another 20-30 minutes depending on the size of your meatballs.
  • When cooking meatballs I like to insert a thermometer in them and make sure they have reached a temp of at least 165 degrees. With all the beef recalls lately, it's far better safe than sorry!
  • I love sweet and sour meatballs on rice, especially bad-for-you, white rice! Serve with the side of your choice.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (24 meatballs)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking spray
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey, chicken, pork or a combination
3 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup minced yellow onion
1 large egg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup diced pineapple

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Grease 13-by-9-inch baking dish or mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, garlic, onion, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the breadcrumb mixture, mixing with your hands just until combined. Using your hands, break off 2 or 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture at a time and roll it into a ball. Arrange the meatballs in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake the meatballs for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are cooked through. While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce.

  • Meanwhile, add the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk the pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce and cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked meatballs to a large bowl, then add the diced pineapple. Add the prepared sauce and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
