Everyone loves a good sweet ’n’ sour meatball recipe; it’s a staple in many homes, a comfort food everyone can enjoy. These are extremely freezer friendly and are always first on my list when I want to stock up.

1 17.6-oz. can tomato sauce

½ cup coconut aminos

3 tablespoons vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

Black pepper to taste

Meatballs:

1 package ground beef (I used 1.7 lbs.)

½ cup almond flour

1 egg

3 tablespoon dried minced onion

Salt

Black pepper

Directions:

In a pot, combine sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil while you prep the meatballs.

In a large bowl, combine meatball ingredients. Form balls and add to sauce.
