Sweet and Sour Meatballs

This time of year is usually full of parties and fun holiday get togethers. One of the best things about those parties are the YUMMY appetizers! Last week I posted my husband's favorite appetizer, and, over the next couple of weeks, I'll be posting my favorites. You'll be able to serve them at ANY party, and, of course, they will all be SUPER EASY to make! This week's recipe is from Natalie, a friend of mine. She brought these little beauties to just about every potluck lunch we had at work.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs
1 pound ground beef or turkey
3/4 cup breadcrumbs (or rolled oats)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt

Sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 BBQ sauce (any kind will work)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together all the meatball ingredients. Form into 1-inch balls and place in an 8 x 8-inch baking pan.

Mix sauce ingredients and pour over meatballs. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until done.

TIP: These little meatballs go pretty fast, so doubling the recipe is definitely something you should consider! If you do make double, just bake it all in a 9 x 13-inch pan instead. And, if you want to keep the meatballs warm throughout your party, pour them into a crockpot and leave them on warm. Also good over rice for a yummy dinner!
