SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS


Simple, fast, and yummy. This is a good one to double and freeze for a future meal. I got the recipe from my MIL years ago. One of her daughters received it from a YW leader when she was in mutual, so this recipe has at least 30 years of practice behind it. It works every time and my whole family loves it.

SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS

1 lb. breakfast sausage
1 lb. hamburger

Combine the meat and roll into 1-inch balls. Fry in a skillet at 350 degrees. Drain grease and set aside.

1 c. ketchup
1/4 c. chili sauce (Located by the ketchup in the store.)
1 T. lemon juice
1 T. soy sauce
1/4 c. water or use the liquid from the drained pineapple
1/4 c. brown sugar.
1 can (15 oz.) pineapple tidbits or chunks

Combine all ingredients but the pineapple. Put the meatballs back in the skillet. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. Add the pineapple and heat through. Serve over steamed rice.
