Francie's Meatballs

Francie, a friend of mine, shared this recipe with me many years ago and it has become a family favorite. The only thing I do differently is use brown sugar instead of white. (Those of you who read my blog regularly know of my love affair with brown sugar.)

Francie's Meatballs

2 pounds extra-lean ground beef

1/2 c. soda crackers, crushed (about 15)

2 eggs

2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 small onion, finely grated

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and form into egg size balls. Place in large baking dish.

Sauce

Mix the following and pour over meatballs:

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

3 tablespoons vinegar

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 cups ketchup

1 1/2 cups water

Cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees.
