Best 17 Sweet And Sour Meatballs In Oven Recipes

SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 °F
• Mix the sauce ingredients together in a medium sized sauce pan until fully combined. Bring to a low rolling boil, and cook until it thickens. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the meatball ingredients : breadcrumbs, garlic, salt, pepper, egg, onions and ground beef together in a stand mixer bowl. Use the paddle attachment and mix on low until combined. This makes for the BEST distribution of egg and crumbs through the meat!
• Roll the meat mixture into meatballs, whichever size you want. I prefer slightly larger ones, they don't dry out as quickly.
• Pop them into the 375 degrees oven and start them cooking.
• After about 20 minutes, take the meatballs out for a second, and drain the fat out of them.
• Now you can cover those meatballs up with sauce. Pour the sauce over the meatball, covering them completely.
• Finish cooking them until done, and they look oh-so saucy and delicious. This can take up to another 20-30 minutes depending on the size of your meatballs.
• When cooking meatballs I like to insert a thermometer in them and make sure they have reached a temp of at least 165 degrees. With all the beef recalls lately, it's far better safe than sorry!
• I love sweet and sour meatballs on rice, especially bad-for-you, white rice! Serve with the side of your choice.
