Hawaiian Meatballs image

Talk about one easy dish that creates an amazing sweet and sour sauce! You can serve over rice for more of a dinner-like option, but I also like to offer them as an appetizer simply served with toothpicks. -Julie Schiefer, Nappanee, Indiana

I found these meatballs to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding more liquid to the sauce.

These meatballs were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of brown sugar in the sauce.
