My grandmother's meatballs - always a treat at Christmas and one of our family favorites! Season meatballs as you would a hamburger. Ingredients:
1 egg |
1/4 cup water |
1 pound ground beef |
2 slices bread, crumbled |
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste |
1 cup ketchup |
1 cup beef bouillon |
1/2 cup vinegar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Beat egg and water in a bowl; add ground beef, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper to eggs and mix thoroughly. Form ground beef mixture into bite-size meatballs; place meatballs into a large baking dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are browned and no longer pink inside, 25 to 30 minutes.
4. Mix ketchup, beef bouillon, and vinegar in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Combine brown sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir brown sugar mixture into ketchup mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbling and brown sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add meatballs to sauce, stir until coated, and serve.
