Polynesian meatballs

KLV's Note:

This is a very simple and tasty dish. It's great if you're one to make meatballs in big batches and freeze them - just mix up the sauce, throw in the meatballs, and put in the oven. (You'd have to increase the cooking time). This one comes from my church cook book again - it's originally a microwave recipe but I'm not a fan of microwave cooking so I do it in my oven.
