Delicious…family cleaned their plate. thanks for sharing your recipe, will be a regular on our menu
Sounds delicious – could you make your own meatballs and put them in raw (not frozen)? I wonder if they would just fall apart if they weren’t browned first?
Absolutely brilliant. I made two lots of nibble sized sweet chilli meatballs. I was trying out easy finger food recipes for a future wedding and they were gone almost before I walked back to the kitchen. A big hit and very easy to make and they freeze very well. Will definitely be making again.
Absolutely brilliant. I made two lots of nibble sized sweet chilli meatballs. I did make my own plain mince meatballs with just a bit of garlic, salt and pepper as I was trying out easy finger food recipes for a future wedding and they were gone almost before I walked back to the kitchen. A big hit and very easy to make and they freeze very well. Will definitely be making again.
Hi there, what size can of pineapple please?
Absolutely delicious. Would definately make these again.
Absolutely delicious!! Made my own meatballs pork and beef mince and doubled all sauce ingredients except for jar (only had 1) added 2 TBS white vinegar, pepper, added juice with pineapple and 2 cups of water.Thickened with 3Tbs cornflour and 3 TBS water added to sauce 1/2 an hour before serving Will definitely make again 🙂
Saucy, sweet n sour deliciousness!
Used fresh mince, making 12 balls which held together perfectly.
This made a generous amount of sauce, with cornflour thickened at the end.
I served with rice and broccoli on the side.
Next time I might try with pork mince for more authentic Asian flavour.
Thanks so much for your feedback Kerry – we really appreciate it!
Wow this is an awesome sweet and sour, absolutely amazing and so easy to make , I used pork and beef meatballs and tossed in cornflour before adding to slow cooker, I mixed other ingredients in slow cooker first before adding the meatballs except I didn’t use capsicum as not every one in the family likes it . Will certainly be making this again, enjoyed by the whole family.
Dinner was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Will definitely do it again
I doubled the sweet & sour for 30 meatballs
Added 1T cornflour at the start
Swapped fresh capsicum for canned (2 cans) as no fresh available at shops today 🫑
Served with cheese & chive potato mash
Tried this recipe as it looked so yummy. The family including Grandkids loved it. My son took some home with him. I put the meatballs in first then poured the sauce over the top. I did not stir it all and it worked out great !!!
Made this today 4 1/2 hours on low with pork and veal meatballs( Woolies) plus carrots and onion. Rest was per recipe. Was absolutely scrumptious and two more meals in freezer as well. Definitely a keeper!
I made this last night we really enjoyed it. I have 3 meals leftovers in the freezer now. I used bought meatballs from Woolworths, 30 in a pack
Made this yesterday really enjoyed it. Had 3 leftovers in the freezer as only 2 of us. I thickened it with a handful of rolled oats about 1/2 hour before it was finished.
So pleased you enjoyed it Lyn 🙂
