1 lb ground beef
garlic powder
onion powder
1 egg
1/4 cup bread crumbs
12 ounces chili sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Mix together beef, garlic powder, onion powder, egg, and bread crumbs. Form into small balls and set aside.Pour chili sauce into medium saucepan. Refill bottle with water, shake well, and add to pot. Add the brown sugar and lemon juice, and mix. Bring sauce to a boil. Taste and adjust amounts of lemon juice and brown sugar to taste. Drop in meatballs. Return to boil, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes.
VARIATION #1:For chili sauce, you can substitute either tomato sauce or tomato juice or diced canned tomatoes, and adjust the sweeteners and water accordingly. You just want it to be a saucy consistency, not too thick or thin. If you use plain tomato juice or sauce, you can add in some garlic powder or other seasoning. The sky is the limit. But, do NOT use spaghetti sauce!
VARIATION #2:For brown sugar you can substitute real maple syrup, sugar, honey, grape jelly, or any other real sweetener.
