The PERFECT Party Meatball

These Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Meatballs are simple to make and they taste AMAZING!

By far my favorite meatball I have ever made. Make it all in the slow cooker then turn on warm to serve at a party.

I even make them for dinner and serve with rice. The entire family just loves them. If you want to check out more of my meatball recipes then click on the links below once you are done with these. 

Directions:

Step one: Get started by placing your meatballs, diced peppers, pineapples (with juice), and water in your slow cooker.

Step two: In a mixing bowl whisk together remaining ingredients. Then pour this over your meatballs and mix. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low 5-6 hours.

Freezing this recipe:

Since this recipe calls for frozen meatballs if you want to make it for the freezer it’s pretty simple.

Add all ingredients to your freezer bag.

Don’t precook anything just add everything in together.

Then when you re ready to make it dump it into the slow cooker and cook according to directions.
