Main Dishes Recipe ✶ Oven Meatballs

This sweet sauce is great any night of the week! My kids love it! Great served with rice or potatoes.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds ground beef
• ½ cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ¾ cup water
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vinegar

• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Form ground beef into 20 meatballs. Brown them on all sides in a large skillet over medium heat, about 15 minutes.
3. Whisk together the ketchup, cornstarch, water, sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, salt, and soy sauce in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved and the cornstarch is smooth.
