Sweet & Sour Meatballs

A few years ago we were invited out for lunch after church and were served these meatballs. A little different from the norm, but oh so yummy. Quite a bit of sugar in the sauce, but tasty none the less.
Meatballs:

- 1 1/4 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup water or milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3-4 cloves of garlic

Mix beef, crumbs, water, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Makes approximately 24 meatballs. Brown in frying pan or hot oven. Transfer to casserole.

Sauce:

- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup

Combine brown sugar and flour in saucepan. Blend thoroughly. Add vinegar, water, soy sauce and ketchup. Stir over medium-high heat until boiling. Pour over meatballs. Cover and heat in 350 oven for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serves 4.
