Love love LOVE these meatballs! I make a little extra sauce because we liked having it to mix in the rice on our plates... It's fabulous!

This was really good!! The sauce would be good on other meats as well. I also think adding a pinch of red pepper flakes would add a nice little kick. Will make this again for sure!

My family LOVES this. I have substituted chunk cut chicken for the meatballs and it's great too. We've made the 'sauce' and used it on grilled pork loin. This is just a great recipe!

I actually loved this! My boyfriend wasn't too crazy about all the pineapple, so next time I might use two cans of juice but only one can for the pineapple chunks. The sauce was extremely easy and would also be a good one for a sweet and sour chicken. Next time I may add green peppers as well. Pretty happy with this.

I will make it again, but without the pineapples. It was too sweet.

Yummy! I didn't add the ginger or garlic powder to make it more kid friendly and everyone ate it and loved it!!

This meal was very easy, and fast! I made my own meatballs, which only take 20 minutes in the oven, so while the meatballs were in the oven, I cut up veggies and got the sauce ready. It really only took me about 30 minutes, since the meatballs were already cook and just needed to be tossed around in the sauce on the skillet. I will make this again when I need something quick for sure.
