Sweet and Sour Meatballs

The original recipe from Mel's Kitchen Cafe was great, the only thing I did different was to use my own meatball recipe and then I tripled the sauce for our large family and we all loved it! This tastes exactly how I want my sweet and sour sauce to taste, it;s just yummy!

Meatballs:
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef ***
3/4 cup quick oats
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
'or' 1/2 of my Basic Meatball Recipe, baked and frozen

Sauce:
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 TBSP. prepared mustard
3/4 cup barbeque sauce
1 TBSP. Worcestershire sauce

Whether you are using the uncooked or the frozen meatballs, proceed as directed. Combine all of the meatball ingredients and mix well. Form into about 24 balls, each about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs in 9x13-inch casserole dish. Combine sauce ingredients and blend thoroughly. Heat in a small saucepan until combined and sugar is dissolved. Pour over meatballs in the dish. Bake @ 350* F for 35-45 minutes until the sauce is thickened and meatballs are cooked through. Serve over hot cooked rice.

***you don’t want the beef to be too high in fat because the fat will all pool at the bottom of the baking dish after baking.
