When cooking, is the pot uncovered or covered?
Covered
If I could give 10 stars I would. This is simply the best sweet and sour meatball recipe out there. I can’t stop craving it every week!
Was a hit! I actually made the sauce in a saucepan but baked the meatballs. It was delicious! Thank you for a great recipe!
delicious! I used a combination of chicken and meat and came out very tender
What percent of ground beef do you suggest to use?
Whatever you prefer/can find but I think 70% lean is pretty standard.
