Used 2 lbs deer burger instead of hamburger and bread crumbs instead of crackers. I baked the meatballs for 22 min at 350 degrees instead of frying. It was delicious.

These were delicious after a little bit of tweaking. I don't think I've ever made meatballs without some garlic, so I felt the need to add one large clove of minced along with a teaspoon of soy sauce, replacing the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, in the meat mixture. I also upped the amount of peppers used in the sauce and par-cooked them along with some chopped onion. I baked the meatballs instead of frying (350° for 22 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking). Served over white rice. Next time I think I'll double the sauce.

This was a very yummy dinner, very much like what I remember back in the 60's... Sometimes it's nice to go down memory lane. I cheated a bit and used frozen meatballs from the supermarket but added more veggies - onions, red pepper and celery. It was delicious! The sauce turned out very well... A great choice for dinner and/or potlucks.

I substituted Johnsonville reduced fat pork & chicken Italian sausage for the ground beef and these were INCREDIBLE! The spices in the sausage add an extra layer of savory to the sweet sauce and my family absolutely loved it. I won't make it any other way now! Try it, it's fantastic!

A nice change from a traditional meatball. Would make again.

So yummy! I've never had sweet and sour meatballs before but now these will become a regular meal for us. Super easy to make. I cooked meatballs in oven as other reviews advised. Added crushed red pepper to sauce which I think added a great dimension to the flavor.

I followed this recipes pretty close, but used fresh ginger and assorted peppers. It was alright. The sauce had a strong flavor and the meatballs were a little bland. My step son loved it (but he's a teenager and they'll pretty much eat anything!), I thought it was alright. I may make it again. Wasn't awesome.

I have to give this a five because my husband LOVED these. The sauce thickened up perfectly. We omitted the pineapple chunks at the end and added more peppers (we love peppers in everything) and followed everyhting else. We used venicin, since my husband loves to hunt, and they did not taste gamey at all. I will def make again for him. We made white rice and poured over for a waikiki meal.
