Sweet and Sour Meatballs



Meatballs

1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
3/4 cup Italian or plain breadcrumbs or 2 slices white bread, soaked and squeezed
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Olive or Canola oil

Sauce:

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon yellow mustard
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup hot water

or:

Dave's Sweet and Zesty BBQ Sauce, same amount of  water. Mix well.

Mix all the ingredients. Make balls the size of a walnut.

Brown the meatballs in the oil just to brown outside not cook inside. Place them on a paper towel to remove the excess of fat. Place the meatballs on a big skillet uncovered.

Mix the sauce ingredients and pour over the meatballs or the BBQ sauce mixture.

Cook at low-medium temperature for about 10-12 minutes basting the meatballs with the sauce and turning them over once.

Serves 6-8
