Sweet and Sour Meatballs with Fried Rice

I found this recipe on See Jane Cook, and she found the recipe from The Lion House cookbook.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

1 - 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
3/4 C oats
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 C finely chopped onion
1/2 C milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix ingredients and form into 12 2-inch balls.  Place in casserole dish, cover with sauce and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Sauce:

1/2 C brown sugar
1/4 C vinegar
1 tsp. mustard
1/4 C barbecue sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce


Fried Rice

1/4 lb. bacon
1 C diced onion
3/4 C diced celery
1 bell pepper, diced
3 T soy sauce
3 C COLD, cooked rice

Cook bacon until crisp.  Remove from pan and saute vegetables in bacon fat.  Add rice and soy sauce until heated through.  Add bacon.

Verdict:  The adults LOVED this!!!  Two of my less-picky eater kids LOVED this.  Three of my kids gave this a thumbs down, but I'm inclined to not really count their votes as they are so super picky!  I will definitely make this again!  It was easy, and very yummy!!!!
