Grandma’s Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Oh man do these meatballs remind me of dinners at Grandma Clark’s!  Good memories!!  I call these meatballs sweet and sour, because that’s what it reminds me of.  I’ve adapted the sauce recipe a bit more to my liking as I like a sauce with bold flavors.

You can serve these meatballs over rice or egg noodles.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb. lean ground meat
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 envelope of dry onion soup
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 tsp. dried celery flakes
  • 1 c. vinegar
  • 1 c. water
  • 1/2 c. sugar (use juice of 20 oz pineapple chunks can)
  • 1 c. ketchup
  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
  • 1 c. raisins or craisins (or omit and add an additional 1/2 c. sugar)
  • 1 20 oz can pineapple chunks from above (can omit if desire)
  • Hot rice or egg noodles

Directions:

  1. Meat: Mix meat through celery flakes together.
  2. Sauce: Combine vinegar through raisins and pineapple in a large pot.
  3. Roll meat mixture into walnut sized meatballs and place them in the pot.  Cover and simmer for 1 hour in the sauce.
  4. Serve over rice or egg noodles.
