Recipe: Sweet-n-Sour M'balls

This makes the second sweet-and-sour meatball recipe I have posted. I couldn't resist. But, this one is better than the first, though it involves a few more ingredients and steps. This one is the recipe I ate growing up. Of all the things my mom ever made for dinner, this was always my favorite.

Sweet-and-Sour Meatballs

1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. lean ground pork sausage
1/4 c. soy sauce, 1/4 c. cider vinegar
1/2 c. brown sugar, 1/8 c. cornstarch
1 egg, 1 (8 1/4) oz can crushed pineapple
1/3 c. water, 1 tsp. garlic, 1 tsp. mustard

Mix ground beef, sausage, egg, mustard, garlic, 1 T soy sauce, and 1 T cornstarch. Form into balls. Cook at 375 for about 20-25 minutes. Drain balls on paper towels. Set aside.

Combine soy sauce, cedar vinegar, brown sugar, crushed pineapples (including juice), water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat til bubbly and thickened. Add meatballs to sauce and cook until meatballs are heated.

Serve over rice or chow mein noodles.
