Description

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
  • ¼ 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
  • ½ cup vinegar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 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. 3. Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are browned and no longer pink inside, 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. 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.
