This was fantastic! I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 just because I personally like more sauce and had to add more pineapple juice and brown sugar.

Very easy, forgiving and delicious recipe. My small children enjoyed, and they are quite picky. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef, but otherwise followed pretty closely. I was in a hurry and just eye-balled the measurements and it turned out great. This will be a regular! Thanks for the recipe.

I doubled this recipe and used ground pork instead of beef I partialy cooked the meatballs then threw them into the slow cooker with the sauce on low for about 4-5 hours and it came out great! My whole family loved it.

I made this for a luau last week and everyone raved about it. It competed with a variety of other foods, but these meatballs were the hit! We put everything (but the peppers and pineapple chunks) into a crock pot and left it on high for maybe an hour (until it hit a boil) then switched it to low, added the peppers and pineapple, and kept it there for several hours during the party. I altered the amount to serve 20, so, if putting this in a crock pot, keep an eye on it!

Yum! Better than the chinese restaurant. The only changes I made were: had no fresh ginger so added a few dashes of ground, and had no green bell pepper so used a yellow one instead. Adding beef bouillon to the meatballs was tasty; I had never tried that before, and they were awesome. The sauce was great too; thanks for a great recipe!

I made these meatballs for Thanksgiving. We have some in the family who aren't crazy about turkey. I made a double batch and followed the recipe as is , except that after the meatballs were cooked I dumped everything in a crockpot to cook. These turned out great and my husband has already requested them for our family Christmas party.

I decided to use this recipe to serve to several guests at a dinner party. It was pretty easy to make and came out wonderful. I served the meatballs over white rice and everyone enjoyed them meatballs. I will definately be adding this recipe to my favorites to make again.

They were just OK. I made it once and it was edible, but I wouldn't go through the trouble to make it again. I think there could be more sauce like other reviewers also.

AMAZING!!! I changed the recipe a little--I didn't have beef bouillon, so that wasn't added at all. For the meatballs I used 1.2 lbs ground turkey and only added 1/3 cup bread crumbs and added a dash of soy sauce and minced garlic. I then cooked the meatballs about 3/4 of the way through in a little bit of canola oil before I added the sauce. I made the sauce exactly how it said minus adding the pineapple chunks at the end. It was absolutely delicious!! I served it over rice! You could add additional veggies to make it a meal--onions, water chestnuts, pea pods, etc. Overall--DELICIOUS!

OMG!!! This is an excellent dish!!! I invited friends over and made these meatballs for them. I followed the directions EXACTLY and got perfect results! The sauce was just right (not too thick, not too thin). I used ground ginger because I didn't have fresh ginger on hand (just eyeball it). The meatballs are EXCELLENT served over egg noodles (I prefer noodles instead of rice). Serve with a tossed salad and cold applesauce on the side. These meatballs are very versatile and can be served with a variety of sauces (i.e. Bar-B-Q sauce or brown gravy - just omit the pepper and pineapple!) to change things up a bit. This recipe is a winner for sure. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
