Porcupine Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Mindy Weiss, St. Louis (Missouri) says:

Excellent. My entire family loved it, especially the kids (ages 2-14). Used low-sodium soy sauce, low sodium broth, rice vinegar and dark brown sugar. Used defrosted ground beef and meatballs did not hold together (didn't really matter) but I will use fresh ground beef next time and see if it makes a difference. Husband said to put it in the MAKE IT AGAIN file!

Just a question.....do you drain the beef broth from the meatballs before adding the sweet and sour sauce??

Very easy to make...delicious. Better yet, all the ingredients are usually in my pantry. I added a little more sugar because I preferred it sweeter.

Do you use the broth the meatballs are simmered in? I didn't think so I doubled the sauce recipe used a half cup of orange juice for more sweetness. The I carefully added the meatballs and pineapple to my sauce skillet. Used the broth to make a Swedish meatball dish, using leftover meatballs.
