Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup water
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1.5 pounds ground beef

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Form beef into 20 meatballs. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs in the hot skillet until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer meatballs to the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is thickened and meatballs are cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).

Step 4

Make sauce: Whisk together water, ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, mustard powder, and salt in a bowl until sugar is dissolved and cornstarch is incorporated. Pour sauce over meatballs.
