Sweet 'n' Sour Meatballs

This was one of our very favorites when we first got married. But because it makes so many, we'd freeze some and eat some so frequently I got kind of sick of them! :) But they're really yummy and it makes a HUGE batch.

Meatballs

diced onion to taste

1 lb. ground beef

1 c. oatmeal (modify depending on consistency)

2 eggs

1/2 c. milk

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. worcestershire sauce

Spray pan with cooking spray. Mix by hand, roll into balls (I use a cookie scoop!), and bake until brown (~20 mins.) at 375.

Sauce

1 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. vinegar (I use white, but apple cider works too)

1/2 c. BBQ sauce

2 tsp. mustard

2 tsp. worcestershire sauce

Heat until rolling boil. Pour over meatballs and cook 10 more minutes. Serve over rice.

*A couple thoughts...

• I double the sauce if I'm making a full batch to be eaten that day (but a full batch definitely needs double the sauce).
• I usually make the full batch of meatballs and separate it into 2 meals (with tons of leftovers for each!). I cook the batch we're going to eat that day as the recipe suggests. I cook the one I'm going to freeze for about 15 minutes, and then freeze it. I don't make the sauce for the frozen meal until we're actually going to eat it, then pour it over the meatballs and cook it for about 15 or until heated through.
• This has always been a big hit when I have to take a meal to someone (plus, I can make a meal for us and a meal for them with the one batch)
• Enjoy!
