Garlic Meatballs With Sweet & Sour Sauce

This is a great recipe that is quick and easy and is one of those recipes that the meatballs can be made the day before, and just warmed up in the skillet the day you make the sauce. The meatballs freeze very nicely. To serve, thaw completely, then heat in the sauce.
