1. How many does a pound make ?

2. Probably a silly question from a man but should the sauce simmer covered or uncovered? And should the meatballs and sauce be covered or uncovered?

1. We compared these to the grape jelly and chili sauce meatball recipe posted by someone else and this recipe won, hands down! Thank you, Pamma, I'm sure this will be a hit at my New Year's Party.

2. These were SO good!! We doubled the meatballs and tripled the sauce. I did bake the meatballs instead of frying them. Served over rice with steamed veggies. I agree with some of the other post next time I will decrease the ketchup just a little bit. Had the left overs for lunch today and the sauce was even better today! We will be making these again.

5. Excellent. First time making sweet & sour meats, and these were just prefect.<br/>I followed everything, nothing was changed.<br/>I used extra lean hamburger/ground beef, browned them first, and did not have a grease layer onto of my sauce. <br/>(Frozen meatballs will do that to you everytime people - plus they are gross! Make your own!)<br/>I serve them over top of rice, and everyone, even the kids ate them all up.<br/>Next time I will have to double the recipe!

1. I halved the sugar and made an extra half batch of sauce

2. YUMMY!! I tripled the recipe and substituted 50/50 Kamut & Oatbran in place of the bread crumbs. I accidentally used soy sauce in the meatballs instead of worcestershire, and it was good! For the sauce, I used Rapadura and a few tablespoons of unsulphured molasses in place of the brown sugar and left out the onions, per hubby's request. These were delicious!! The whole family went back for seconds and thirds and there were no leftovers!

5. I made these for the first time - I find them a bit too sweet so will cut back on the brown sugar next time.
