Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Here's a basic meatball recipe: (or you can use your own favorite or buy them)
Note: I didn't use this recipe comment if you do on what you think.

1 pound ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 onion, diced

Sauce:
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons corn starch or all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 T ketchup (optional)
1 tsp minced garlic (optional)

DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs and onion. Mix thoroughly and shape into golf ball-sized balls.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, gently brown the meatballs and set aside. (you could also bake them)

In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, water, white vinegar, soy sauce, and ketchup. Mix thoroughly. Add meatballs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for 30 minutes.

We served over rice. You could probably use the sauce with chicken too.
