Spock's Savoury Sweet and Sour Meatballs

The Essential Star Trek Party Bite Cookbook, p. 72

16 ounces ground beef

1 large egg

1 chopped onion

8 ounces dry breadcrumbs

Salt and pepper

8 ounces water

4 ounces cider vinegar

4 ounces ketchup

1 ounce cornstarch

8 ounces brown sugar

1 ounce soy sauce

Combine beef, egg, onion, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl until fully combined. Roll mixture into 1 1/2” meatballs.

Heat meatballs in a large frying pan until browned evenly.

In another bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and pour over the meatballs in the pan. Cook until sauce thickens and starts to bubble.

So saucy.

Served with some leftover German Macaroni.

My Rating: 4/5 "These are definitely tangy! They veered a little more toward the "sweet" side of sweet and sour, and I did kind of wish there was more balance between the two flavors. That said, they were still quite enjoyable to make and to eat!"
