3-INGREDIENT SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS



3-Ingredient Sweet and Sour Meatballs image

There are two rules a good meatball needs to follow: number one, it needs to be super tender. And number two, it needs to be coated in a delectable sweet and tangy sauce. Luckily for all of us, these sweet and sour meatballs are sticklers for rules. Plus, you barely have to lift a finger to make these 3-ingredient bites. Don't thank us, thank your slow cooker. Just place frozen meatballs in the slow cooker and pour in a two-ingredient sauce. These hearty (and ridiculously easy) sweet and sour meatballs are pretty much the perfect party appetizer.

Provided by Meghan Yager

Categories     Meatballs

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs ground beef (80-85% lean)
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1 white medium onion, minced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups ketchup or chili sauce
18 oz natural grape jelly

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a large bowl until well-combined.
  • Form the meat into 50 equally-sized balls, using a rounded teaspoonful for each.
  • Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat, or add to your slow cooker and turn on the SEAR setting. Once hot, lightly brown the meatballs in batches. Transfer to a large plate after they brown.
  • Add ketchup or chili sauce and jelly to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Pour about 2/3 cup of the sauce into the bottom of a Dutch oven or Crock-Pot insert, spreading to coat the bottom in an even layer. This can also be done on the SEAR setting in your slow cooker.
  • Add one-third of the meatballs to the bottom of the pan or insert. Top with another 2/3 cup of sauce. Add another third of the meatballs on top, followed by another 2/3 cup of sauce. Finish with the remaining meatballs and top with remaining sauce.
  • If you are using a Dutch oven, cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, until sauce has thickened and meat is cooked through.
  • If you are using a slow cooker, set to low and cook for 2-3 hours, until sauce is very thick and beef is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately on a platter with toothpicks.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 1/4 cups pineapple juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
One 25-count bag All-Purpose Meatballs (still frozen is fine), recipe follows
1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce
1 cup drained small pineapple chunks
Steamed long-grain rice, for serving
2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish
5 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and 2 cups of the pineapple juice. Bring to a boil.
  • Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch into the remaining 1/4 cup pineapple juice, whisking to get out all the lumps. Whisk the slurry into the skillet and add the All-Purpose Meatballs. Bring to a simmer and add the sriracha. Cover and cook until the sauce is thickened and the meatballs are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the pineapple chunks.
  • Serve over steamed rice, garnished with green onions.
  • To make the meatballs, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, cream, parsley, mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix together well with your hands. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the meatballs onto parchment-lined baking sheets and put the baking sheets in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes for the meatballs to firm up.
  • To brown the meatballs, heat the olive oil in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, turning the meatballs to make sure they brown all over, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
  • Freezer instructions: Put the cooked meatballs in a single layer on baking sheets and put into the freezer. When frozen, divide them into freezer bags, 25 per bag, and return them to the freezer. Yield: 125 meatballs.
