This delightful Sweet and Sour Meatballs recipe combines a medley of flavors to create a dish that is both tangy and sweet. The mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce bring a complexity and depth to the meatballs that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, oats, milk, and eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1- to 1.5-inch meatballs. You should get around 20-24 meatballs, depending on the size.
- Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, combine the mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously until the brown sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are done baking, transfer them to a large serving dish.
- Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the meatballs, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Serve the sweet and sour meatballs immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a perfect complement to rice or noodles.
Tips:
- Use freshly ground black pepper for a more potent flavor.
- For a finer texture, finely chop the onions or grate them before mixing with the meat.
- Soak the oats in milk for a few minutes before mixing them into the meat to make the meatballs juicier.
- Cook a small test meatball first to check for seasoning before cooking the whole batch.
- When shaping the meatballs, wet your hands with water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
With a balance of flavors and a straightforward preparation process, Sweet and Sour Meatballs are an excellent choice for any meal. Enjoy the tangy and sweet delight that will surely become a family favorite!
