Form 1” meatballs using approximately one tablespoon of mixture per meatball.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and oil over medium heat.
2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons canola oil
Brown the meatballs on all sides. Work in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
Remove from skillet and set aside.
Pour out any accumulated fat in skillet and wipe clean.
Return the skillet to the heat, add the catsup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
¾ cup reduced sugar catsup, ⅓ cup white vinegar, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons dry mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Return the meatballs to the pan, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.
Notes
To make tender meatballs, 1) use a higher fat content ground beef, and 2) don't overmix the ingredients.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until heated through.
