These sweet and sour meatballs are my absolute favorite comfort food. \u00a0It goes back to when my mom would make a version of them for Thanksgiving for me while everyone else was eating turkey. \u00a0And, then they would all ask for meatballs, too. \u00a0I did my best to hoard them away, I assure you. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So moist and flavorful, these meatballs are easy enough to make for a weekday dinner, and great for a dinner party. \u00a0The sweet and sour sauce that goes on top adds the perfect touch of sweet tanginess.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make \u2019em, pile them up next to some mashed potatoes (or, in my case, rice and beans) and some veggies, and you\u2019ll be a happy gal\u2026or guy\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
