How To Make sweet & sour meatballs (with 7 different twists)

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Gently blend beef, bread crumbs, egg, milk, onion, garlic, salt & peppe until evenly combined. Form into about 40 bite-sized meatballs.
  • Step 2
    Place meatballs on a foil lined, rimmed baking sheet; bake 20 minutes or until cooked all the way through.
  • Step 3
    Combine chili sauce & jelly in a saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until jely dissolves, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add cooked meatballs to the sauce; reduce heat to medium-low & simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Step 5
    TWISTS: Twist 1: For a meat variation, use ground turkey or pork for the ground beef. Twist 2: For a vegetarian option, purchase ready made veggie "meatballs" & heat in the sauce for 10-15 minutes. Twist 3: For a peachy version, substitute peach jam for the red currant jelly. Twist 4: For a tangy citrus version, substitute citrus marmalade for the red currant jelly. Twist 5: For a sweet & spicy version, substitute hot pepper jelly for the red currant jelly. Twist 6: For a grape-licious version, substitute grape jelly for the red currant jelly. Twist 7: For an Indian-influenced version, substitute mango chutney for the red currant jelly.
