“I LOVED these. I never eat leftovers, but there’s no way I was going to let these go to waste. This recipe is definitely going in my favorites! And it was easy too!” – Lauren “Tried these for dinner last night. This is a “do again” recipe! Very easy and very yummy.” – Wendy “I’m not sure, if 5 stars, is enough for this recipe. It’s freaking amazing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️” – Barbie I couldn’t agree more! This Crockpot Sweet and Sour Meatballs, aka Hawaiian Meatballs, is one my family has enjoyed for years – especially on busy weeknights. The recipe came from the Williams Family way back when our blog began. Cooking the meatballs in the crock pot gives the meatballs time to soak up all the sweet and sour flavors. I doubled the sauce recipe in the recipe card. This is because my family loves to eat the sauce over rice and we love lots of sauce. If you aren’t a big sauce fan, feel free to halve the sauce part. PEPPERS AND PINEAPPLE: In addition to the meatballs, pineapple tidbits are added to the crock pot. Purchasing canned pineapple tidbits is convenient and cost efficient, but fresh pineapple can also be used. For the peppers, make it colorful! Green and red bell peppers not only add color, but also crunch and flavor. SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE: The sweet and sour sauce is the star of the show in this dish! It is absorbed by the meatballs as they slow cook and creates a tangy topping for rice or noodles. The sauce starts with mixing cornstarch and brown sugar together, then whisking in pineapple juice, soy sauce, white vinegar, and ketchup. The sauce is poured over the meatballs, chopped green bell pepper and red bell pepper, and pineapple tidbits in the crock pot.
