Sweet and Sour Meatballs

My kids love meatballs (like mini rissoles) this sweet and sour meatball recipe was enough to feed our family of 5 for 2 nights, serve with mashed potato and steamed vegetables first night, then in bread rolls as an easy dinner the following night.

Roll the mince mixture into balls – to make… meatballs!

Add sliced vegetables on top of the meatballs, then pour over sauce.

Bake in oven then serve.  Not the best photo below, but it tasted delicious!

Grab some fresh breadrolls on the way home from school pick up or work, heat up the meatballs and have a delicious meatball sub.  We had our with just the meatballs, but you could add some lettuce, cheese etc to fill it up more. There was ample left overs to feed our family of 5 again.

I also love the idea of the vegetables over the meatballs, so simple and trying this for the first time as meatballs are a quick and easy meal for my 3 kids (11, 8 and 4)… I have been going through your meal planning/recipes and I can proudly say I have 2 weeks orgainsed as I wrote down all the meat I have in my freezer and just worked around what my kids likes 🙂

Tracey March 13, 2015 - 5:59 PM

Just letting you know Katrina, my Kids loved it and so did my partner! A winner in this house and looks like it will be a favourite too. I also added both red and green capsicum for colour 🙂

Fantastic! It is such a easy and delicious meal, perfect mid week dinner.:)

That is wonderful, Tracey! I am so happy to har you have meal planned for the next two weeks! YAY i’m excited to hear that!.:) x

Lovely recipe Katrina ! I made these tonight and just added some red capsicum for colour. I used a mixture of Pork and Veal Mince to carry on the Asian theme of the recipe. As DH is working away from home – I used 1kg of mince and made two batches – we had one tonight and the other is in the freezer.
I particularly loved this recipe because I could assemble it earlier in the day. When I got home from soccer training with my two youngest kiddos – I cooked up some rice and pre-heated the oven. Then I popped the meatball dish in the oven as I left to collect my eldest DD from dance practice. When we arrived home – dinner was practically on the table !
Did you make this recipe up ? It’s a winner in my book – well done !!!

Great idea! I do something similar but put it in the slow cooker instead. YUM! We get 2 meals out of it too.

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife March 16, 2015 - 8:36 AM

Great idea in making them in the slow cooker! I love how it makes a lot, perfect for leftovers or to freeze and have another night!

I love all of your easy recipes. Could I add a suggestion? I see you have a print button to print the recipe but what if you want to save the recipe in a folder for later? Could you possibly add a button to make it easier to save the recipe for later use.

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife March 26, 2015 - 9:00 AM

Hi Jenny, That is a fantastic idea! I don’t have a save button but it is something i could look into. The other alternative is you can save recipes in Evernotes.

Ange January 29, 2019 - 5:11 PM

Hi Jenny
Alternative options also…you can save to Pinterest by clicking on the red Pinterest icon. You could also create a bookmark folder and add the page to that folder. Best wishes ?

You can easily cook them in a COOKEO for a quick meal. I mixed all the sauce ingredients in a large bowl, fried the meatballs and poured the sauce over the meat. Then cook for about 30 minutes. It’s ready.

That’s a great suggestion! Thanks Sylvie

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
