1 1/2 lb. ground sirloin

SAUCE:

3/4 cup Vernors original ginger soda (do not substitute ginger ale)
3/4 cup ketchup (Hunts)

Form ground sirloin into small meatballs (no larger than 1-inch).

Combine Vernors and ketchup in a medium covered skillet. Blend well. It will be foamy because of the carbonation in the Vernors. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.

Drop in meatballs, reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove cover and continue simmering to reduce the sauce to desired consistency.

Serve over cooked rice.

Note: Amounts of meat, Vernors and ketchup can be increased or decreased to make whatever amount of meatballs and sauce you need. Just make sure equal amounts of Vernors and ketchup are used.

No seasonings are needed!
