Ingredients:
Meatballs:

2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 onion, finely diced

Sauce:

3/4 cup brown sugar

Spray a large sheet pan with sides with non-stick spray and put all the meatballs on it with a little space in between each. Brown the meatballs for approximately 20-30 minutes. Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and put on paper towels to absorb the excess oil from the meat and set aside.

In a large saucepan, over medium-high heat combine the brown sugar, flour, water, white vinegar and soy sauce. Whisk thoroughly and bring to a slow simmer . Add meatballs.. Reduce heat and continue to simmer, stirring often, for approximately 30 minutes.
