For big parties, I make glazed hoisin meatballs and deliver them in a slow cooker. That way they're spicy, sweet and ready to eat. -Gail Borczyk, Boca Raton, Florida

These meatballs were a great way to use up some leftover pork. They were easy to make and the sauce was delicious. I served them over rice and they were a hit with my family.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best meatballs he's ever had. I will definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili sauce next time.

These meatballs were really easy to make and they turned out great! The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, so I added a bit of soy sauce and chili sauce to balance it out. Overall, I'm really happy with how they turned out.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these meatballs were still really good. The sauce was just the right amount of heat, and the meatballs were so flavorful. I will definitely be making these again, but I might cut the amount of chili sauce in half.
