Sweet and Sour Meatballs

1 pound extra lean ground beef
2 tablespoons dehydrated onion
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs

Sauce

3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Combine meat and ingredients. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place under broiler in your oven for 5-7 minutes or until meatballs begin to brown.

In a large saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Add the meatballs and reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often.

Tips: use a cookie scoop to get the meatballs all the same size. It also has a flat side so they wont roll all over the place!

You can also place meatballs in a crock pot after they have browned. Cook on low for about 3 hours.

Serve with rice.
