Sweet N Sour Asian Meatballs Recipe

Today I want to share a super simple recipe that I have been making for years. It is a wonderful appetizer for any situation and you can even pair it with other Asian style foods as a side dish. Around these parts I am known for this dish and I am often asked to bring it to functions and when it is Bunko night with the girls. Just thinking about writing this post has made me crave them, so what is cooking right now… This recipe for Sweet N Sour Asian Meatballs.

This is almost embarrassing how simple this recipe is but I guarantee once you try it, you will not want to change it. Plus it is so easy, I am not even using the form 🙂 Here we go:

Sweet N Sour Asian Meatballs Recipe

2 lbs frozen meatballs – or your homemade ones, cocktail size
1-2 Cans of Contadina Sweet & Sour Sauce

In a large sauce pan, add the meatballs and 1 can of the sauce, to start. Stir well to coat all meatballs. Cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring often. You may add the additional can, or part of it, if you want more liquid or the meatballs are not coated enough. Check often, as this will scorch since it has sugars in it.

I have tried many different types of sauces and this one by far tastes the best and gets the most compliments. You can add a small amount of pineapple chunks, without the juice, if desired. I prefer these coated but without excess sauce, so be careful on how much juice, pineapple or sauce you use. You want the sauce to stick to the meat for the best taste.

It is a fast and easy appetizer and side that you can whip up quick! Hope you enjoy it!
