Sweet and Sour Meatballs in Sauce image

A family recipe (from my mother-in-law) for a unique twist on traditional meatballs. These are baked in a wonderful tomato-based sweet and sour sauce, which is delicious over rice! I doubled the original sauce recipe. We love extra sauce, and this recipe will make a lot.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds ground beef
2 eggs
1 ½ cups bread crumbs
¼ cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups ketchup
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 cups water
⅔ cup brown sugar
⅔ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix the ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, onion, milk, salt, and black pepper together in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined. Form the mixture into 12 large meatballs. Arrange the meatballs into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir the ketchup, tomato sauce, water, brown sugar, white sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and chili powder together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until well combined and hot, about 5 minutes. Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the meatballs in the baking dish. Turn the meatballs to coat in the sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 60 to 90 minutes.
