This recipe was a perfect alternative to traditional sweet and sour pork. It was so easy. My only problem was that I should have made more! I followed the recipe for the patties to a T and it was perfect. I used the Sweet and Sour Sauce II (submitted by myrite on allrecipes.com)- which by the way was almost as easy as opening a jar of store sauce, but much better. After adding the sweet and sour sauce to the patties, I added about 1/2 of a bell pepper and 1/2 of an onion cut into really big chunks.. I let that cook together for about 15 min. My family almost inhaled supper that night it was so good! THANKS for sharing your recipe, Linda. ***foot note*** my 6 year old daughter thought it was too spicy and couldn't eat it, so keep that in mind with the pepper flakes.

This was pretty good, and something we'll definitely try again. The flavor of the pork patties was milder than I expected; I think that next time I'll add some of the ingredients others have suggested like ground ginger and five-spice. The texture reminded me of meatloaf, which I didn't expect, either. Overall, this is a good recipe.

This recipe is one of our favorites. I always make it into meatballs and add soy sauce as mentioned by another reviewer. We never have leftovers!

This is a wonderful dish! It took less time to cook when I made the patties. I went a little light on the sauce and added about 1/4 cup of hot banana peppers in the patties.

Actually my daughter found this recipe on your site about 4 years ago. Anyone that makes this recipe will be a huge hit. We have been making this recipe for so many years. We get a five star rating from people everytime we make it. It has been passed around to so many family and friends. The whole recipe will please over and beyond the palete. The sauce is excellent and it is homemade. If you don't like red pepper flakes try and cut it down to 1/2 tsp or omit all together in the pork. We make rice and put pork pattie over rice with the sauce. Once you have tried it the family will always want it again and they surly will enjoy this for supper. Thank you Linda for submitting the recipe!!

WOW! I didn't have fresh parsley so I used dried and only had red pepper flakes so I just guessed on that. My egg was really big so I ended up not adding milk and put more bread crumbs to hold it together. I used the Sweet and Sour Sauce I from this site (with a few tweaks) and was so surprised how well this turned out. I didn't make the patties as small as suggested, next time I will. Before I added the sauce, I drizzled some Thai sweet Chili Sauce over the patties to give it a little kick because after trying a piece of one, I realized I hadn't put enough red pepper in for our tastes. Served over rice, boyfriend had two big helpings. We will definatley be making this again!

Ok Gang! I had a package of ground pork that I had to use and stumbled upon this recipe. I didn't have bread crumbs so I tried crushed Triscuits (deli-style rye) and added cumin & garlic to the other ingredients. I also left out the sauce as I didn't have any in my pantry and didn't want to make it from scratch but "WoW"! This was very tastey which left a little tingle on the tongue for a short moment...MMMMMMMMMMMM! I'll make this again but next time I'll make into meatballs and try the sauce with it.

Not bad, but just felt like it was any other hamburger with sauce instead.

These were good but I didnt really taste the sweet n sour as much as I thought. They kinda just tasted like meatloaf. Good, but I was a little disappointed.

These were great! The second time I made it I forgot to buy duck sauce so used Grape Jelly and some mustard to make the sweet and sour sauce. It still turned out a winner with the family!

These patties were awesome. I added 1/2 of a red bell pepper, chopped, and a tablespoon of teriyaki sauce. I served these with the Danish Christmas Red Cabbage recipe and some mashed potatoes. Just wonderful and quick!

Made this last night with white rice and stir-fry, very good and very easy. Made my own sweet and sour sauce and used extra to pour over rice/veggies before serving. Only addition I made was to add siracha to the pork mixture. I love spicy food, and if you do as well, it's a great addition.

Absolutely delicious! It was hard to find ground pork, so it might be tasty with ground turkey instead. I added a little ground ginger and cilantro to the mix, too. Will definitely make again!

This was good, but a little weird. The first bite is okay, then the more you eat the better it gets. I will make again....it was different than anything else i make. I also used the sweet and sour sauce II as others did.

Delicious! My grandma used to make something similiar when we were little, without the sweet and sour sauce. I added a few extra ingredients such as soy sauce and garlic powder. You could put a variety of spices in these. I also used the sweet and sour sauce II recipe. I didn't have any rice, so I made mashed potatoes with it and it was still awesome! Thanks!

Good recipe for a sweet & sour dish. Next time I will use a little less red pepper flakes and buy a different brand of sweet & sour sauce. It gave me a chance to finish the fresh parsley from Thanksgiving. I think it's a must.I made 9 patties and cooked them in my square electric skillet.
