Sweet and Sour Meatballs ~ Easy Dinner!

I’ve been on a meatball-kick, lately.  Did you see those meatballs in the Slobber-Fest on Sunday?  Yum!  So, while browsing Our Best Bite’s cookbook, I stumbled on these Sweet and Sour Meatballs.  I knew I needed them in my belly.  The recipe has instructions for both the meatballs and the sauce.  But, since I was feeling unmotivated, I used frozen meatballs and just made the sauce.  Dinner was literally ready in fifteen minutes.  Just how I like it.  The meal was scrumptious!  Maybe when I’m feeling perky, I’ll make the meatballs from scratch.  It seems pretty easy…sounds like it would only take an extra 15 minutes.  Like I said, I was feeling lazy.
So, to make the sauce you whisk together 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3 TBS. flour, 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and 3 TBS soy sauce.  Bring to a boil, then keep warm until your meatballs are done.
Heat up your meatballs (I just microwaved them).  Or, make them from scratch (recipe, below.)
Combine the sauce and meatballs, and serve on top of a bed of rice.  Easy!

      I was hoping my picture would have turned out better, if I was going to be sharing one of YOUR recipes!  It looked more crisp on my camera.  Boo.  Thanks for coming by, as always.
