Thanks Eve. This will become a firm favourite in our household. For an even quicker way I just poured the sauce (after making it in a pot) over the browned meatballs in the pan and simmered on low heat til I was ready to serve over rice. Cheers.

very good, very easy. I used frozen meatballs and heated them in the microwave to thaw then added with pineapple. Thanks

This is a good recipe, but I will make a few minor changes next time. I think that 2 envelopes of soup mix makes the meatballs much too salty, so next time, I'll just use one, plus a few extra seasonings. Other than that, the dish was great, the sauce held on to the meatballs perfectly, and it all went well over rice with a nice salad. I only wish there had been more sauce. Thanks for sharing, and I will make again, with only a minor tweak or two.

Pretty good! I found them to be a bit too much onion flavour though and they seemed to be saltier than I expected. I would make them again but would reduce the amount of dry onion soup mix. They were easy to make and my boyfriend really liked them. Thanks
