Form Meatballs: With greased hands, form the mixture into small meatball shapes. Ensure they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
-
Cooking Option 1 – Frying: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Cooking Option 2 – Baking: Alternatively, preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Place the formed meatballs on a greased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until they are golden brown, lightly crispy on the outside, and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
-
Prepare Sweet and Sour Sauce: If you prefer to enjoy these meatballs with sweet and sour sauce, follow these steps:
- Place all of the meatballs in a baking dish or in a crockpot.
- In a separate bowl, mix together ketchup, water, and the package of George Washington Broth. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more brown sugar if desired.
- Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Bake or Simmer with Sauce:
- For Baking: Place the meatballs in a baking dish and pour the sweet and sour sauce over them. Bake at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the meatballs are heated through.
- For Crockpot: If using a crockpot, turn it on high and let the meatballs simmer in the sweet and sour sauce until they are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Serve: Once cooked, serve these delicious vegetarian meatballs hot, either as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a main meal. They’re sure to be a hit!
