Sweet & Sour Meatballs

I'm not a huge fan of meatballs in general, but I really like this recipe:


Sweet & Sour Meatballs

• 2 lbs hamburger
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp sage*
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• salt and pepper
• chopped onion to taste

Sauce:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1 cup water

Combine the first 7 ingredients. Roll into small balls and brown in a frying pan. Place browned meatballs in a casserole dish or roaster.

Sauce: Put brown sugar and cornstarch in saucepan. Mix well. Add ketchup, vinegar and water, mixing well after each, stirring continually. Bring sauce to a boil. It will thicken and clear. Pour over meatballs. Bake at 325 for an hour.

Pineapple chunks may be added with the sauce. The juice may be used to replace the 1 cup water. Make sure 1 cup liquid is added.

*Although I have about 10,000 spices, I don't have sage, so I've never added it in to this recipe and I think it's still pretty tasty!
