My husband loved this!! He gave it a 9 1/2 stars which is very generous for him and made me promise to make this again! Very easy, I used crushed pineapple instead and it turned out great.

This is one of my favorite meatball recipes. I love the sweetness that the pineapple throws into this dish.

Very tasty. I used ground turkey instead of beef the meatballs fell apart while cooking, but it still tasted good!

This is something we've made in our family for years. Not sure where my mother got the recipe, but was very happy to see it here so I can stop writing it out all the time, and instead just print it! It is always a hit, seems I can never make enough. Great in a crock pot for an appetizer, or over white rice as a dinner.

Okay. Mild in flavor. Some people liked it and some didn't. I don't think I will go through the trouble of making these again.

Everyone at my Bunco party enjoyed these. I left out the salt and used slightly less than the brown sugar called for. I made these mini, then put five to a bamboo skewer and served them in a chafing dish. I also loved the tip from two reviewers about baking the meatballs rather than frying them. I'll do that from now on! Wonderful suggestion. Thanks.

I have had this recipe in my collection for years, and have made it a million times. My family loves it. Here are a few tips to cut the prep time: Oven bake the meatballs at 350 degrees for 20 minutes on a foil lined broiler pan. The fat melts off, and the meatballs stay firm, instead of crumbling apart. Cuts down on calories and fat, and improves the taste. Also, when making the sauce, just dump all the ingredients in a saucepan at the same time, and whisk the heck out of it. No lumps, and cuts down on dishes. Enjoy! We love this recipe!

They sure looked neat , but as a family that nixes the salt , it was way too salty !!! If I made again, if , I would reduce the salt and celery salt by half .

The only thing that I do differently after having been making this recipe for several years is that instead of cooking the meatballs on the stove, I put them on a cookie sheet and cook them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Much less messy, and faster too. I can cook the meatballs in the oven while I do the sauce on the stovetop. Plus, my meatballs never fall apart this way!

Wonderful Recipe!! Great if your family loves the taste of 'Sweet and Sour'. I serve my meat balls over a bed of white fluffy jasmine rice along with a nice green salad. Very filling and satisfying.

One word sums this recipe up...YUM!!!!!! DH loved it and I thought the meatballs had great flavor. I personally don't care too much for too sweet sauces but this really wasn't bad. We omitted the green peppers since we aren't too keen on cooked hot peppers. Served on top of egg noodles, this was a great meal! A definate keeper that I suggest that anyone give a try! Thanks so much Cathy! This was GREAT!!!!

A big hit! I made a few changes and used fresh bread crumbs instead of crackers and some cilantro for the meatballs. I used less sugar for the sauce and red peppers instead of green. No leftovers!

Delicious! The first time I made this recipe, I thought the vinegar was too strong. So the next time I reduced the vinegar to 1/4 cup, and it was perfect!

This was a wonderful recipe. My son and daughter-in-law showed up the evening I was making it and they also loved it. My 3 yr old grandson didn't like it, but he is very picky. The only time consuming thing was making the meatballs themselves, but they should held together good! The sauce was wonderful! I served it over noodles.

These meatballs were fantastic. I made them for a large group function and everyone loved them...including people who don't like pineapple. No flavor overpowers the other.
