Saucy Sweet & Sour Pineapple Meatballs image

This dish is great as an appetizer, or add some red and green peppers and serve over rice and you have a meal. This recipe has been used in my family since I was a kid--not too sure where it came from aside from my mom. It also works very well in a crock pot if you have several hours to let the sauce sit and thicken.

This dish is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. The sweet and sour sauce is a great way to mask the taste of the vegetables.

This recipe was easy to follow and the meatballs turned out perfectly. The sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adding a little bit of vinegar.
