Polynesian Meatballs -Appetizer or Dinner -Little Dipper Crock Pot or Cook and Serve

These Polynesian Meatballs caught my eye and I'm glad they did:@) I made them as an appy for the first pre-season game, and highly recommend the recipe. This is a sweet and sour sauce, I could really taste the lemon, and the meatballs are great with a piece of pineapple. Since I wanted to use my Little Dipper Crock Pot, I used 7 oz meatballs and cut the sauce recipe in half, and that fit perfectly. You could also serve it over rice, add a veggie and call it dinner.

My biggest recipe adjustment, I added a little extra cornstarch to make sure the sauce stayed thick in the CP.
I'll list what I did for the Little Dipper below, you can click the link for the full recipe here.
I just had a thought... This would be great with some cubes of ham too:@)

    I live sweet and sour meatballs! I made some for a luau luncheon that I went to recently. I think I really need a mini crockpot.

    These sound great. I could make them for TheHub and Son2. They like to watch games together.
