Doris Grant's Sweet and Sour Meatballs

My mother made these when we had company. She would serve them with rice.

Serves 8 to10. Feel free to cut the recipe in half.

Meatballs

• 2 lbs. of ground beef

• 2 cups bread crumbs

• 1 cup of milk

• 2 eggs, beaten

• seasoning

Gently mix together all the ingredients and shape into one-inch balls and place in a shallow baking dish. I find the rubbing a little oil on your hands helps the mixture to not stick to your hands.

Sauce

• 1 cup of ketchup

• 2/3 cup of water

• 3 Tbsp. brown sugar

• 3 Tbsp. cider vinegar

• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Bring to a gentle boil in a sauce pan and pour over the meatballs. Bake uncovered at 350° for 50 minutes. Be sure the meatballs are all covered with sauce and baste as they cook.
