I'll have to let my son at this recipe, Karen...he loves meatballs...I would say they are his favorite thing to eat...this is something he will be able to do for sure!

They sound fantastic!

Thank you!

and so easy I cheat and use store bought ones but if he is adventurous he can make his owned. This dish is on demand at xmas gatehrings and potlucks in general.

He is adventurous, but I am the one that normally makes the meat balls, you know, the 'dirty work'

This is great for him as they are already prepared...never thought about doing it that way before!

I used to prebake them befor throwing them in the pot--but lately Ijust been throwing them in frozen with the sauces and pineapple. Much better.

I'm assuming you cook them on low for the 5 hours, as opposed to the high setting.

yes very slow Bev--takes for ever but worth the wait. I have started to just put them in from frozen and I found I like the angus meatballs.

I also found a new sauce combo:

1 bottle of Heinz Chili sauce
1 jar of mild or med salsa
1 half jar of sweet and sour sauce
can of pineapple chunks with juice.
