Sweet and Sour Meatballs

I love meatballs in any shape or form, but these little meatballs are great for entertaining. The ingredients are all in your pantry. This recipes can be a main or an appetizer. Whichever you use, this is a hit with young and old. Sweet and Sour Meatballs is a hit with the kids. I also use my cranberry sauce on them if I am making them as appetizers.

You can switch up the meat in these meatball. I have used lamb, beef, chicken or a combinations of meats. There are so many ways to use meat and meatballs. We are mostly accustomed to meatballs in sauce, but this widely used recipe has many possibilities. If you want more sauce, double the recipe. Be creative and enjoy!!

If you are making them as appetizers, roll them up smaller and pour in the cranberry sauce in the place of the sweet and sour. Omit the broccoli.
