Sweet and Sour Meatballs

1 pound extra-lean ground beef

2 tablespoons dehydrated onion

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 egg, beaten

1/4 cup bread crumbs

Sauce:

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons flour

1 1/2 cups water or pineapple juice

1/4 cup white vinegar

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1. In a medium bowl, combine meatball ingredients. Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place under the broiler in your oven for 5-7 minuts or until the meatballs begin to brown.

2. In a large saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.

3. Transfer sauce to a slow cooker and add the meatballs. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
