i have the best job ever as a stay at home mommy to three handsome young men...thanks to my hard working husband! after a full day with my boys (which i love) i can't wait for my hubby to get home so we can all sit around the table for dinner. it's a very special time for our family so i try to keep it fun and unpredictable! that is why i am on a mission to find new recipes, tweak old ones and share them with YOU!

sweet and sour meatballs

i made the same meatballs for years and years because they were so yummy and then i came across this recipe.  so glad i tried it because they are delicious!  the sauce smells exactly like nang's sweet and sour sauce (for all you nappanee chinese lovers)!  very easy too!

1 jar sweet and sour sauce
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
3 TB. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. pepper
3lbs. frozen meatballs (i used to make my own meatballs, but these days i get the frozen :)
1 med. red pepper, cubed
1 can (20oz) pineapple chunks, drained

place all ingredients in a slow cooker and stir gently.  cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until done. 

i like to serve these with baked macaroni and cheese or over rice!  also a great dish for company or parties!
