Very good. I boiled the meatballs to cut back fat. Added mushrooms just because I like mushrooms.

This received a luke warm reception from the family. It wasn't bad---actually the sauce was good, but, we didn't care for the beef w/sweet & sour sauce...prefer chicken.

I doubled the sauce for these meatballs. My daughter and I are also vegetarian, so I made the meatballs using GimmeLean soy, and they were great. I think the sauce is very good, but my husband thought it was too sweet. Next time I make it, I will try adding lemon juice as suggested by another reviewer.

I have made this recipe twice, and there is just enough sauce. The first time I doubled the sauce as others had mentioned. It made too much sauce, and all we tasted was the sauce. The second time we kept the recipe as is, and it was perfect. As for the meatballs, I was leary about using cornstarch, but I did and they were the best meatballs I tasted. They were moist, delicate and just melts in your mouth.

There was literally nothing left!! Everyone loved this dish and it was easy. I doubled the sauce, as some here suggested, and I didn't have cornstarch, so I just used some flour. Next time I might consider using frozen meatballs, to speed up the process a bit.

I have tried other recioes, and this one is my family's favorite. I always make extra for left overs too. I do add more veggies though. Always extra peppers and sometimes celery too. What ever I have that might work

Another great use for hamburger. This turned out very good. My family really enjoyed this dish. I used dried minced onion in the meatballs. I sauteed the onion and the green pepper strips with the meatballs just before I poured the sauce over. I used rice vinegar. My husband isn't a pineapple fan, so he just picked the meatballs out of the sauce, but even he enjoyed this dish. I'll keep this recipe in my file, thanks so much!

The sauce tasted good, but was too thick. Leftovers for lunch the next day had a really strong vinegar flavor.

This was great but I made it a little better. First the sauce must be a clear color and takes over the flavor of the meat. The meat also needed a little help. This is what I did. For the meatballs, I added 1 TBS of Worcestershire Sauce and used 1 TBS Arrowroot instead of the other starches because there is no flavor and it is clear. For the sauce, I substituted again Arrowroot for the other starch mixture for a clear and no aftertaste thickener. I also changed the 1/2 cup sugar to 1/4 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup Brown sugar and I added 1 TBS Lemon Juice for tartness. This turned out clean, clear with a lot of sweet/sour flavor. My family of 62 people, all home styled Chefs thought it was great. I married a Russian. Need I say more?

I used the sauce from this recipe to make sweet and sour chicken, and it was wonderful - best sweet and sour I've ever had. The fiancee agrees!

Very good recipe! My suggestions: Double the sauce ingredients if you are serving over rice. Want to cut calories? Use splenda instead of sugar. Spray Pam in pan prior to browning meatballs and omit oil prior to adding pineapple juice. If sauce is too thick for you add additional juice or water.

Great! Added chunks of pineapple to the meat prior to making the meatballs. Added just a little zest, and blended great with the rest of the recipe. Served over rice.

Made this for dinner last nite, the sauce was great, even my picky 6 yr. old ate it on rice. The meat balls were just a little blaa, not a big hit. Will try again with my meatballs. Thanks for the great sauce.
