One quick and easy dinner that you can make for your family is Sweet and Sour Meatballs. As the name suggests, this is a meatball dish with sweet and sour sauce. There are several ways to make the sweet and sour sauce; one example is the recipe that we have for the Sweet and Sour Tilapia while another is the basic Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe that we used for Sweet and Sour Pork – this recipe is entirely different from the rest.
Kids are so picky with their meals. They like fried dishes and they won’t eat any food that they are not familiar with. Since kids love meatballs, this recipe will surely build your kid’s appetite especially when they tasted the pineapple chunk that goes along with the dish.
As for the meatballs, the recipe asks for ground pork but feel free to use ground beef or chicken depending on your preference or availability of ingredients. You might notice that the meatball for this recipe is composed of basic ingredients. If you want to take the meatballs to the next level, you can always use the meatball recipe in our Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe post.
