Kittencal's Porcupine Meatballs in Sweet and Sour Tomato Sauce image

If you don't mind the idea of using canned soup this is a delicious tomato sauce, because of the instant rice in the meatballs it will need about 1-1/2 to 2 hours of cooking time , I sometimes remove about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the simmering sauce cool slightly then mix into the ground beef mixture before shaping into meatballs, you may need to adjust the brown sugar and vinegar amounts during cooking --- for meatballs I use my recipe#69173

1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional or adjust to desired heat level)

1/4-1/3 cup brown sugar (or to taste)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste) or 1 teaspoon white salt (or to taste)

  • Add in all remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a simmer stirring over medium heat until well combined.
  • Place the meatballs into the simmering sauce; bring back to a simmer (do not stir the sauce for at least 25 minutes or the meatballs will break apart).
  • Reduce heat to low or to a low simmer and cook uncovered for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours stirring frequently after the 25-30 minutes of cooking time.
  • Adjust the brown sugar and vinegar amounts if needed, then season with more salt and black pepper.

The meatballs were a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would probably add more liquid to the meatballs next time.

I loved the meatballs, but I thought the sauce was a little too sweet. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
