Sweet and Sour Meatballs in the Crockpot



Years ago, I used to entertain a lot both privately and politically. Finding easy foods to serve was always a bit of a stretch. We didn’t have the internet to search out tasty-looking recipes like we can do today. Instead, we had to physically comb through old dusty recipe books that had pictures, or we had to imagine them in our minds. Hand-me-down recipes were always preferred, but I like coming up with my own recipes, like this one. I’ve made it several different ways, sweet and sour style, Swedish style, French style, and even Italian style. It all depends on how you make the sauce. This recipe makes meatballs taste amazing, and they only take a few minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar

3/4 cup Vinegar

3/4 cup BBQ Sauce

3 tsp. Dijon Mustard

3 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 - 32 oz Bag Frozen Meatballs

Instructions

CROCK POT METHOD:

Combine all ingredients, except meatballs in a saucepan over the stove to heat up and dissolve sugar.

Meanwhile, place meatballs in your crock pot.

When sugar is dissolved, pour heated sauce over the meatballs and cover the crock pot.

Bake on low 6-8 hours or on high 4-6 hours.

Serve and enjoy!

OVEN METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine all ingredients, except meatballs in a saucepan over the stove to heat up and dissolve sugar.

Meanwhile, place meatballs in a 13x9 inch baking dish.

When sugar is dissolved, pour heated sauce over the meatballs and cover the baking dish with foil.

Bake for 30-45 minutes or until heated through.

Serve right away, or put it in your crockpot on low until the party starts!
