These Sweet and Sour Meatballs are easy to prepare and always a hit with the kids. Although this recipe calls for the sweet and sour meatballs to be prepared on the stove, you can certainly use the Crockpot instead. Just brown the meatballs first, whisk together the sauce ingredients and toss them in the Crockpot together. Set it on low for 8 hours or high for 3 hours, and you're all set to go.
