Make it a great day!
This serves 6-8 (or more depending on serving size. We usually can feed my family of 3 twice with this). I have never tried them as a freezer meal, so I am not sure the best way to go about doing it. I would maybe freeze the everything together before cooking the meatballs so they aren't cooked twice. Let us know how it goes!
I am so sorry about that! I am not sure why it wouldn't have thickened. If you make them again, you could add more corn starch until it reaches your desired consistency.
Cost of premade meatballs: $2
Cost of pound of burger: $4
Cost of canned pineapple: $.50
Cost of fresh pineapple: $3
That is a HUGE deal to some of us.
I didn't use a crock pot, but rather opted to use my plain old non-stick and the results were super.
However, i reduced the amount of sugar and increased the amount of vinegar to have a more tangy than sweet taste.
Thanks for uploading this recipe.

On a side note, it still smells delicious! I just can't imagine eating it without the thick sauce :)
I think it would be delicious using homemade meatballs! I would brown them first so they stay together and follow the cooking directions on the recipe making sure they are cooked all the way through before serving.

It didn't dawn on me until I saw this...4 hours in the pot & complete water for sauce :( I added about 2 1/2 tbl more of cornstarch...problem solved :)
