Joyce's Sweet N Sour Meatballs


Remember my friend, Joyce, with the awesome stuffed mushroom recipe that I posted a couple of months back???  
Well, she has introduced me to my favorite new meatball recipe!  Try this one at your next football party or your next 
holiday get-together that will be here before you know it :)


Joyce's Sweet N Sour Meatballs

1 large pkg frozen "home-style" meatballs
1 16 oz can pineapple chunks
2 -- 10 oz bottles of Sweet Chili Sauce--by Maggi
3 peppers, orange, yellow and red, diced
2 TBSP cornstarch

Bake meatballs according to directions on package.  

Drain juice from pineapples into a saucepan. 
Add the 2 TBSP of cornstarch; heat and stir until thickened.  

In a large bowl, mix meatballs with 2 bottles of chili sauce, pineapple chunks and diced peppers.
Add the thickened pineapple sauce.  

Place all in a large ziploc bag overnight.  
Reheat all in crockpot on low a couple of hours 
until heated through.

Joyce's delicious ingredients...



Because I had to make these on the run 
for my Momma's birthday party today...

I deviated a little from Joyce's instructions...
but they still turned out delish! 

I poured the large bag into 2 pans 
that I was going to use in the chafing dish...

I baked them according to the package directions 
while I was working on the sauce...



I combined the Sweet Chili Sauce with the pineapple...



I mixed the cornstarch with the pineapple juice 
and cooked until thick..



I poured it into the chili sauce mixture...



I added the chopped peppers...



I added the sauce to the meatballs...
covered the pans with foil and baked 
an additional 20 minutes on 350 degrees...



They turned out most wonderful!  
Enjoy!
