I used 2lbs ground pork, and one lb group beef because that's what I had on hand. When mixing the meatballs start with only half the can of milk. That's probably all youwill need. When making the sauce i only used 1 cup sugar, and replaced half the ketchup with plain tomato sauce. Don't like it too sweet. I also added about 1/4 cup franks red hot to spice it up a bit. It also helps if you make the sauce in a smallpot on the stove. Just keep the temp low so it doesnt burn.

This was enjoyed by the whole family. I definitely will cut the sugar down to between 1 and 1.5 cups, and perhaps reduce the amount of milk as well since they were quite soft. Delicious with rice and a veggie, or even with an egg noodle. Will definitely make again. Made the two dishes complete and will freeze one, then thaw heat and serve.

We enjoyed these tonight as our entree, with a side of Recipe #27361 and some green beans. I cut the recipe to 1/8 to serve just the two of us. They turned out a little too soft, but I'm positive that's because I guesstimated some of the ingredient measurements. Took some previous reviewers' advice and used only half the brown sugar, and it was perfect for us. Thanks for sharing this quick, easy recipe! I will definitely make these again.
