mmm MEATBALLS

(sweet and sour)

Meatballs


This simple recipe can be flavored any way you like, or just make it plain. Oh how I love having meatballs on hand. Think spaghetti, sweet and sour with rice, teriyaki meatballs with steamed rice and stir fried veggies, k you get it.

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground beef



1 egg



2 Tbsp. water (I skip the water and add worcestershire sauce)



4 tbs. brown sugar



1/2 cup bread crumbs ( I like Italian style, seasoned)



1/4 cup minced onion (either grate or pulse in food processor, now your kids won't have any idea!)



1/2 tsp. salt



1/8 tsp. pepper



Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl combine egg, water, sugar, bread crumbs, onion, salt and pepper and combine. Add ground beef, broken into chunks, and mush with your hands to combine. Form into meatballs about 1" in diameter and place on a broiler pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 (check at 20 minutes by cutting one in half if no pink it's done, take care not to over bake. You do not want dry meatballs) minutes until meatballs are no longer pink in center. Cool and freeze, or when baked, use in your favorite recipe.
