If you have ground beef and are tired of preparing meatballs in tomato sauce, you must try this recipe of meatballs in sweet and sour sauce. I got this recipe a few days ago, and of course I had to do some drastic changes. The result was delicious and refreshing. Excellent for those who like Asian flavor but keeping kitchen connected to home.
