This sweet and sour meatball recipe came from my mother-in-law. I got it shortly after I was married and now it is a favorite of our kids. I like to serve it over rice.

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup cider vinegar
