Meatballs Any Night

The polynesian meatballs are an all-time favorite at our house now. I never thought about these sort of combinations, but they were delicious! They are asked for often.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

No need to thaw meatballs. Adding them to the sauce frozen will keep them moist and full of flavor.

Serving Suggestion

Serve these meatballs with a garden salad tossed with your favorite KRAFT Light Dressing.

This was so simple to make and very tasty. I'm not one to eat leftovers but I did w/ this. I will definitely make again.

I agree with previous ratings. My family loved the recipe. (even 2 1/2 yr old) We personally wanted more BBQ sauce, but it was a hit.

This was one of my family's favorite recipes. We have made it all four ways and like them all. The stroganoff was very good, but too watery, next time I will use less water and maybe add more cream cheese. Awesome.

I love the Polynesian version of the recipe and everyone that I have made it for has raved about how good it is. The great part is that it doesn't taste like the meatballs were frozen, and they stay so moist inside. This recipe gets requested at my house a couple times per month and we all love it.

My husband did not like it. The rest of my family loved it. I will make it again when he is on his annual trip!

I made the polynesian version tonight & instead of green peppers, used fresh brocolli. It was GREAT! We have no leftovers. My 19-month-old is a picky eater & asked for seconds. My husband hates sweet stuff & he too cleaned his plate. Good enough for company - thanks KRAFT!

l left out the green peppers and used pineapple in heavy syrup, along with a different BQ sauce. Made 4xrecipe and used as appetizer for luncheon. Used leftovers at home with rice. Many compliments. Thanks!

These were so good and easy that my kids and I spent a couple of hours one day making up and freezing a HUGE batch of meatballs so they would always be on hand. I have substituted them into numerous other recipes that call for ground beef which makes for easy weeknight meals. I'll never be without a bag of frozen meatballs again.

My family really enjoyed the Polynesian version of this recipe. I added some carrots and peas to up the veggie content and also used brown rice. This recipe is a keeper!
