Sweet and Sour Meatballs

First, I buy the appetizer sized meatballs at Sam's.  One step less.  I'll include the instructions for making your own, but I have never done it.

Meatballs

1 lb. ground beef

2 T. dehydrated onion

1/4 t. pepper

1 egg, beaten

1/4 c. bread crumbs

Sauce

3/4 c. brown sugar

3 T. flour

1 1/2 c. water or pineapple juice

1/4 c. white vinegar

3 T. soy sauce

1. In medium bowl, combine meatball ingredients.  Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lines with aluminum foil and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.  Place under the broiler in your oven for 5-7 minutes or until the meatballs begin to brown.

2. In a large saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.  Add the meatballs and reduce heat, cover, andsimmer for 20 minutes, stirring often.

Serve over rice.

My notes: I buy the Langer's pineapple juice at wal-mart, which makes 5 batches (you may have to add a 1/4 c. of water at the end).  I boil the sauce, then separate it into 5 containers.  I freeze those sauces and then just throw the meatballs and then the frozen sauce into the crockpot on days when I want an even easier meal.
