Whats For Dinner Wednesday - Sweet & Sour Meatballs in the Crockpot

This recipe comes from the book "101 More Things to Do With a Slow Cooker" by Stephanie Ashcraft and Janet Eyring. It is yummy and super simple. I made my own meatballs (rolled ground turkey into balls and boiled them) and it turned out YUMMY! We don't eat beef, so that is why the exchange.

Sweet & Sour Meatballs

2 pkg's (18 0z each) frozen cooked meatballs (we used homemade ground turkey rolled into balls and boiled
1 can (14 0z) crushed pineapple (with juice)
1 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water

DIRECTIONS: Place frozen meatballs in a greased 3.5 to 4 quart slow cooker. In a saucepan, combine pineapple, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Bring mixture to boil stirring frequently. In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water together, then add to simmering sauce to thicken. Pour sauce over meatballs. Cover and cook on low heat, 3-4 hours. Makes 10-15 servings.

Meatballs can be served on a platter with toothpicks as appetizers, or over hot cooked white rice as a main dish.

I used ground turkey and rolled it into balls myself. The trick is to have the water at boiling when you put the meatballs into it . . . then so far I have not had them fall apart. They are YUMMY!

This sounds so yummy! When you say greased crockpot...what are you using to grease it with? Sounds like a recipe that I'll definately try.

I just sprayed mine with Pam spray -- oh and I also use those crockpot liners . . . I got them at my grocery store for a couple dollars -- they make clean up a breeze.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
