it aint Food Network but they eat it...Tuesday!

A recipe so good...you'll want to arm wrestle your brother for that last bite!
(So maybe that was a stretch, but posts are so much better with pictures!)

Although we may call them Spanish Meat Balls, Australian Meat Balls or something else (remember the "make up a silly name" trick?)...most of you will simply know them as...

Swedish Meat Balls
Meat Balls:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 c milk
2 tbsp ketchup
1/2 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed


Mix all ingredients & shape into 1" balls. Broil on cookie sheet.


Sauce:
1/3 c ketchup
1 c pineapple juice
1/2 tsp vinegar
1/3 c brown sugar


Combine all ingredients in pan. Add meat balls & simmer until sauce thickens.


Pasta:
1/2 package of extra wide egg noodles


Cook noodles as directed. Serve meatballs over noodles.


This makes approximately 75 meat balls. This recipe can easily be doubled!
