Simple, fast, 4 ingredients, taste wonderful. I first had these at my friends wedding reception 40 years ago, and fell in love with them.

Time 40m

Yield 35-40 meatballs, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs lean ground beef
14 ounces ketchup
1 (12 ounce) can cheap beer (Non Alcoholic beer can be substituted.)
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Make your meatballs about quarter sized, and either fry or bake them draining grease well.
  • In a deep saucepan or crock pot put in the sugar, ketchup, and add beer. Mix well until sugar is pretty well dissolved.
  • Add in the cooked meatballs, and simmer with lid ajar on stovetop for 30-45 minute Or simmer in crockpot on low for 1-1 1/2 hours.
  • Be sure to stir a couple of times.
  • Sauce will thicken, and smells almost like sweet and sour sauce.
  • My friends like them over spaghetti noodles, and mashed potatoes.
  • These freeze well for future use.
