Heinz Recipe ⋮ Sweet and Sour Meatballs from Heinz

This zesty meatball recipe is always a hit with any crowd. The basic, two-ingredient sauce can be switched up by simply combining Heinz Chili Sauce with any sweet spread such as peach jam, grape jelly or mango chutney. And, for the ultimate shortcut, you can use prepared meatballs.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 cup soft, fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons milk
