Ingredients

  • 4 medium golden potatoes, diced small

  • 4 cup fresh Broccoli florets

  • 2 tbs olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Sweet and Sour Sauce Mixture:
  • 1 tbs corn starch

  • 1 tbs water

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (any brand will work)

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tsp dry mustard

  • 1 tsp Worcestershires sauce

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Meatball Mixture:
  • 1 lb ground beef (lean)

  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tbs milk

  • 1 tbs Worcestershires sauce

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper
  • Place the vegetables on the sheet pan then drizzle with 2 tbs olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Coat veggies in the oil and seasonings well.
  • To a small bowl add the cornstarch and water whisk well to combine this cornstarch slurry. Now to a small pot over medium heat on the stove add the rest of the Sweet and sour sauce mixture ingredients. Whisk well and bring mixture up to a simmer. Once simmering whisk in the cornstarch slurry continue to whisk for a minute or until the sauce thickens. Remove 1/3 cup of the sauce and set the rest of the sauce to the side (you will be using the 1/3 cup of sauce on the meatballs for the oven then using the rest of the sauce once the meatballs are cooked)
  • Add all of the meatball ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl mix well to combine the ingredients.
  • Roll the meatball mixture into large golf ball sized meatballs place onto the sheet pan.
  • Brush the tops of the meatballs with the reserved 1/3 cup of sweet and sour sauce. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
  • A few minutes before the sheet pan is finished baking rewarm the remaining sweet and sour sauce over the stove. (If too thick whisk in 2 tbs of water into the sauce)
  • Once out of the oven drizzle the remaining sweet and sour sauce all over the meatballs (and veggies if desired) enjoy!

  1. Oh my, Julia! These were so good! I used carrots for the vegetable and gave them a 5 minute head start. I made 16 meatballs in my 2 T scoop so a little smaller. My people will not eat large meatballs; I don’t know why. Smaller matballs need 15 minutes at 1 375, so that worked well. Sauce is fantastic. Served it with buttered rice. Thanks for sharing!
