Recipe: Appetizing Meatballs with sweet and sour sauce Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Meatballs with sweet and sour sauce. Beef meatballs are browned, then simmered in a sweet and sour sauce. Great as an appetizer or as a main dish served over rice. The sauce ingredients seemed kind of odd to me at first but they made a nice flavored sweet and sour ketchup sauce.

However, that sauce is to die for!

A really nice change from our standard sweet&sour bottled sauce.
