How to Make Souper Easy Sweet Sour Meatballs

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
6. While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed sweet and sour soup, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
7. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and add them to the simmering sauce.
8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are infused with flavor.
9. Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
