Sweet and Sour Beef Meatballs
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
1
Prepare savory meatballs by amalgamating beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, and pepper in a substantial bowl until they are harmoniously merged.
2
Form the amalgamation into 1 1/2-inch diameter spheres, thus creating perfectly rounded meatballs.
3
Sear the meatballs in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until they are uniformly browned and cooked through, thereby achieving the desired level of doneness.
4
Create a rich sauce by blending brown sugar, water, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a medium bowl until it reaches a state of perfect uniformity.
5
Pour the sauce over the meatballs, thereby uniting them in a delicious and savory union.
6
Gradually reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce until it thickens, a process that typically takes 3 to 5 minutes.
7
Present the meatballs hot and relish the fruits of your labor!
