Meatballs
Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour
Aren’t slow cooker recipes the best? For this crowd-pleasing appetizer, all you do is mix together flavorings with pre-
pared frozen meatballs, turn on the slow cooker, and let it go. And when you use a slow cooker liner, there isn’t even
any cleanup!
Ingredients Serves:12 Cooking Time:4 hours
1 plastic slow cooker liner
1 (9- to 10-ounce) jar sweet and sour
sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 pounds frozen meatballs
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks,
drained
Directions
1. Place liner in a slow cooker bowl, fitting it snugly against bottom and sides of bowl; pull top
of liner over bowl rim.
2. Place all ingredients in slow cooker; stir gently then cover with lid. Cook on low setting for 7
to 8 hours, or on high setting for 4 to 5 hours, until done.
3. Carefully remove lid to allow steam to escape. Serve directly from slow cooker (see Note).
To avoid injury, do not lift or transport the liner with food in it, and allow the slow cooker to cool
completely before removing and discarding the liner.
