Yield: 6 x 1 large meatball servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb extra lean ground pork
- 1 Tbsp onion flakes
- 3/4 cup crushed corn flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, onion flakes, corn flakes, salt, pepper, and egg. In a small bowl stir together ketchup, brown sugar and dry mustard. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the ketchup mixture into the pork and mix well.
