I made these sweet and sour meatballs for dinner last night, and they turned out really well—the sauce had the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, and the meatballs stayed tender without falling apart. My kids usually pick around sauces, but they actually asked for seconds this time. I’ll definitely keep this recipe in rotation for busy weeknights.
