This is a crockpot recipe. It has lots of sweet and sour sauce...Yum!!! It looks pretty with meatballs and pineapple chunks. I like to serve it with a crunchy vegetable saute. I almost always use venison in this recipe because the meat is so lean. This is one of dh's favorite foods!

Categories     Beef     Quick & Easy     Raisin     Celery     Fall     Parsley     Bon Appétit     Los Angeles     California

Yield Makes about 25

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup minced celery
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1-ounce package dry onion soup mix
1 12-ounce bottle home-style chili sauce
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup tarragon vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, celery, parsley, egg and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in medium bowl. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons soup mix; blend well. Using moistened hands, form mixture into 1-inch-diameter balls and place on sheet of foil.
  • Combine chili sauce, 3/4 cup water, raisins, vinegar, sugar and remaining soup mix in heavy large pot. Bring to simmer over medium-low heat. Drop meatballs into sauce. Cover pot and simmer until meatballs are cooked through and sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe lychees: Fresh, ripe lychees are essential for this recipe. They should be plump and have a slight give when pressed.
  • Pit the lychees carefully: Use a sharp knife to make a small incision around the stem of each lychee. Then, gently pry open the lychee and remove the pit.
  • Make the syrup ahead of time: The syrup can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the eyeballs.
  • Chill the eyeballs before serving: This will help them to firm up and make them easier to eat.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour eyeballs are a unique and delicious treat that are perfect for Halloween or any other party. They're easy to make and sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive dessert, give sweet and sour eyeballs a try.
