Sweet and Sour Meatball Sliders

Back from the store. It was a restocking mission today! I cleaned out my freezer and have so much room. I had to buy some meat and shrimp today so my bill was high for us $130 ish but I did save a lot in coupons.
This is what the plan is for this week

Here is the sweet and sour meatball slider recipe. I will post a picture later! I saw this in Family Circle Magazine: Right off the bat I am going to be adapting it. I am making it for the crock pot. I usually like to bake my meatballs on a baking sheet lined with foil for about 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees. It is less messy and the result is really good. This time I will be browning the meatballs in a frying pan and adding them to the sauce in a crock pot and letting them cook off all day.

Sweet and sour Meatball Sliders
1 green pepper finely chopped (I am using red)
1 15oz tomato sauce
3/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp garlic
1/4 tsp pepper
2 lbs ground pork
2 lg eggs or 1 egg per lb of pork
1/3 c cornflake crumbs (I may substitute 1 pk instant oatmeal)
1 medium onion diced
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1 pkg dinner rolls

Add peppers, onion, and garlic to a skillet with evoo heat for four minutes. Add salt and pepper and some of the tomato sauce and garlic salt. I divided the pepper mixture and put half in the sauce and half in the meatballs.  In a medium bowl mix the pork. Stir in the eggs, corn flake crumbs(or oatmeal), and pepper mixture until blended and form 12 meatballs using about 2 TBSP of the meat. I got 20 meatballs this way instead of the 12 they got. The meatballs just have to be browned they will cook in the crock pot all the way through.

Heat a large non stick skillet over medium heat with some Evoo. Add medium onion diced with the remaining tomato sauce, sugar and vinegar, and a dash of garlic salt. Here I browned the meatballs in the skillet and added them to the sauce in the crock pot. I am using the low setting for up to 8 hours. I am going to be serving this with rice on the side because I like the sweet and sour sauce over rice. Also I thought about adding pineapple tidbits to this. It looks like each dinner roll will get 2 meatballs.

We loved it and think it's a keeper! I served rice as the side and put the sweet and sour sauce on top. I served two meatballs per dinner roll.
