Crockpot Sweet and Sour Meatballs

I don’t know what to say about these sweet and sour meatballs. I keep writing and deleting line after line because no words can rightfully describe how delicious these are. They are so good that I am speechless! All I want to do is stand over the Crockpot and eat them one by one. I wish I could describe in unforgettable words what happens when one of these beauties hits your mouth…but I can’t. All I know is that they make me pause and thank God for tastebuds! So basically you are just going to have to make them for yourself and see what I’m talking about! 

Grab your Crockpot and a big bag of frozen meatballs. Pour in the meatballs and turn the slow cooker to low.

Get to work on an irresistible sweet and sour sauce. You will need 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of vinegar, and 2/3 cup of water. Once you have that mixed, add in 1/4 cup of reduced sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients until they are nice and creamy.

Thoroughly coat the meatballs when pouring in the sauce. Set the slow cooker on low for 4 hours or on high for 2. It is also handy to occasionally stir the meatballs to ensure that they stay submerged in the sauce. However, if you are leaving the house, it’s no sweat. They will taste just as grand!

I like to top my meatballs with a few green onions or a little bit of parsley and serve them in a large dish. These will also make a wonderful appetizer for a dinner party or shower. Leave a cup of toothpicks next to them and they’ll be gone in a flash! In fact, if you are going to serve them at a party, just leave them in the Crockpot on warm and you won’t have to worry about a thing!

On a simple weeknight at home, I serve the meatballs with Creamy Mashed Potatoes or Fluffy Yeast Rolls. I also think my Apple Blue Cheese Salad or Cranberry and Candied Pecan Salad both compliment the meat nicely. Meatballs also taste great stuffed inside of Hawaiian rolls. No matter how you serve them, you’re going to be a hero for creating such a scrumptious meal! Happy cooking y’all!
