"Yummy rice meatballs in a delicious sweet and sour sauce, because of the instant rice in the meatballs it will need about 1-1/2 to 2 hours of cooking time , I sometimes remove about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the simmering sauce cool slightly then mix into the ground beef mixture before shaping into meatballs, you may need to adjust the brown sugar and vinegar amounts during cooking. For meatballs use my #recipe7 or you can use your own favorite meatball recipe"
