How to Make Too Easy Sweet Sour Meatballs

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of pre-made meatballs and brown on all sides for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sweet and sour sauce, 1/4 cup of chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional).
  3. Pour the sauce over the browned meatballs in the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  4. Serve the sweet and sour meatballs over cooked rice or buttered egg noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
