Sweet and Sour Meatballs

So this week I kindly borrowed my receipe from Colleen Hill a favorite old neighbor that has since moved on to Kentucky! Her receipe blog is lots of fun! (Its listed as Hill Family Faovrites on the right side of my page.) Anywho--I think this is a yummy little dinner--except that I forgot that my hubby doesn't care for cooked pineapple that I added along with green peppers. Oops! So I say this was delightful, Zak however, might say it was more of a disaster!

I also cheated and used up my extra frozen meatballs that I had used for the Superbowl. I bet these home made beauties would be much tastier. Thanks Colleen for the yummy dinner idea!

Ingredients for Meatballs:
1 to 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 C rolled oats (I usually throw in a little extra)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 C finely chopped onion
1/2 C milk
1 t salt
dash of pepper
1 t Worcestershire sauce

Ingredients for Sweet and Sour Sauce: (Kelly even doubled this sauce--too many meatballs)
1 C brown sugar
1/2 C vinegar
2 t mustard
1/2 C barbecue sauce
2 t Worcestershire sauce

Directions:
For the sauce, combine all the ingredients. Heat over low heat.
Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs. Mix well.
Form into several small meatballs (or about 12 big ones, if you prefer) and place into a 9x13 casserole dish. Cover with the sauce. (Kelly also added a can of chunk pineapple and one chopped green pepper to give color and variety)
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
(Kelly had to cook longer since my meatballs were frozen!)
I like them served over rice. (So does Kelly!)

That is funny, because Kevin does not like cooked pineapple either.

I'll have to try this one. Looks yummy!

Sounds tasty. I wonder if you just threw the pineapple in at the end if Zak could handle it?

P.S. love the Star Wars Landonism.
