Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

12 oz jar sweet and sour sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1-2 lbs frozen meatballs
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 onion, cut into chunks
20-oz can pineapple chunks, drained

Combine the sweet and sour sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce and garlic powder in a crock pot and stir well.  Add the meatballs, bell peppers, onions and pineapple chunks and stir gently.  Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.

Serve over hot cooked rice.  Yum!  If you like spicy, add a little Sriracha to the sauce.  

This recipe can also be baked in a covered casserole or pan in the oven at 350^F for about 1 1/2 hours.

Or, if you're in a hurry you can place the meatballs in a large Dutch Oven or Pot and cover them with water.  Bring to a boil and cook about 15 minutes.  Drain.  Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for about 20-30 minutes.
