Sweet and Sour Meatballs

This is a recipe I got from some friends, Bruce and Bridget Titus, whom we knew when we were first married and living in Iowa.  This was Bruce’s famous recipe.  I changed it just a bit, and doubled the amount of sauce.

  • 1 ½ lbs lean ground beef
  • ½  cup milk
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ tsp each: garlic powder, pepper, chili powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ TBL dried onions

Combine all and make into meatballs.  I usually use my big mixer with the dough attachment.  Put meatballs in a 9X13 dish and cover with sauce.  Cover tightly with foil or lid and bake at 350 for 1 hour.  Serve over rice.

Meatball Sauce:

  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Combine all and pour over sauce.
