Sweet and Sour Baked Meatballs

Here's a homemade meatball recipe. Great thing is you can prep them ahead of time, freezing them for later use in just about any recipe calling for meatballs.

For these I used barbecue sauce, grape jelly and ketchup for a sweet and sour flavor.

Landi Raemi's Sweet and Sour Baked Meatballs

2 lbs. ground beef
2 eggs
2 small onions, chopped in food processor
2 T. minced garlic
2-1/2 t. Italian seasoning
1 t. black pepper
1 t. sea salt

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

When done, enjoy eating right away or place in ziploc freezer bag and store in freezer to use later.

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

When ready to use, place the meatballs in a crockpot on low and cover with a sauce made from the following ingredients:
Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, 1/3 to 1/2 bottle
Grape Jelly, 1/3 jar
Heinz Tomato Ketchup, about 1 cup

Mix all together and pour the sauce over the meatballs. If not enough to cover the meatballs, add more of any of the above sauce ingredients.

Honestly, the amount of sauce was way too much as there was a lot of leftover sauce. You could really cut the recipe in half or use twice the amount of meatballs.
