Sweet & Sour Meatballs

Recipe: Sweet & Sour Meatballs
I got this recipe during an online recipe swap from my friend Elyse!
Ingredients:
Meatballs: Ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, milk, salt, onion, Worcestershire sauce
Sauce: Vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, crushed pineapple, green peppers
Taste: The sauce on these is really tasty. I was able to eat them for dinner 3 or 4 nights in a row with no problem. They go really well with egg noodles, or on mini buns (as sliders). It’s truly a sweet and sour experience, even if you don’t really like soy sauce or pineapple.
Texture: I had made these before with pineapple chunks, but I much preferred the crushed pineapple I used this time (the smaller pieces make it easier to eat the sauce- especially because I don’t like eating pineapple on its own). You have flexibility as to how large to make the meatballs- but I have found that this recipe comes out pretty well.

Homemade Meatballs
Ingredients: Ground beef, seasoned breadcrumbs, milk, pecorino romano cheese, garlic, parsley, garlic powder, pepper, egg
This is a family recipe. It’s actually not a recipe, but I made my mom figure out the measurements and write it down for me (she doesn’t measure).
Texture: These meatballs aren’t too spongy (bready). They actually feel like meat! A little dry, I might cook less or add more milk next time.
Taste: Best meatballs I’ve tasted, they have lots of flavor from the garlic and cheese. The chunks of garlic are visible (I would cut them smaller though if I could).
Overall rating: 8/10
