Really pretty good, but it didn't knock my socks off. The meatballs do have good flavor and are easy to make. They make a ton - I made the full recipe and served as an appetizer. It made 70 small meatballs. I doubled the sauce by using only one 20 oz can of pineapple chunks and then adding a 6oz can of pineapple juice to the reserved juice from the chunks. I sauteed the bell pepper, carrot and a little onion to soften first. Set that aside and made the sauce. Make the sauce as instructed, but I mixed the 3 T. cornstarch with water before mixing it into the sauce so that it didn't clump up. You do not need more than 3T. cornstarch even with doubling the juice unless you really want a thick sauce. Once the sauce was thickened, about 10 minutes or less, I stirred in the sauteed veggies. I put my meatballs, made with no changes, baked for 15 minutes in oven, into my slow cooker insert and poured the sauce over them. Stirred in the pineapple chunks and set the slow cooker to "warm". It was easy and could be made ahead. Oh...as one other reviewer suggested, I did not add the season salt to the sauce until tasting it. Depending on how salty you like your food, you can omit the salt, since you have the soy sauce. I used about 1/4 tsp.
