Sue Bee Honey Tangy Mini Meatballs

Submitted by fuzzypugs

"Found on the internet and made today for superbowl. YUMMY! Had to switch up the cook time and some of the ingredients, but the end product was delicious! I switched out the cornstarch for cream of tartar because that is all I had in the house, and then I added maybe a 1/4 cup of flour to thicken it up a little more turning the sauce into a sauce and a glaze for the meatballs"

Originally was going to make this, along with brown rice, for a neighbor couple, but then decided to give them a roasted chicken (We have all kinds of chicken dinners!) & keep this one for ourselves! AND, I wanted to freeze some of these little tasties for a later time! I'll definitely be making these meat balls again & again, 'cause they're different from what I usually make & have such a GREAT TASTE! Thanks for posting the recipe!
