It is nice that others have enjoyed this recipe. We didn't care for the taste of the sauce on this one. It tasted too much of tomato soup and not enough "sweet and sour". Also, the texture of the sauce turned out really thick (like undiluted tomato soup). I prefer sauces with ketchup instead of tomato soup as it adds a little extra zip. :)

This goes straight into my tasty, quick and easy to make cookbook. I prepared the meatballs in the morning and grilled (broiled) them just before adding them to the sauce mixture. I loved being able to cooked this in oven instead of stove top or wok. I think the meatballs would be great made ahead, cooked through and then frozen for an even quicker and easier dinner. I also think pork mince would work well. Thank you for posting :)

<p>My favorite cookbook, well I guess I have 3...The Way to Cook, by Julia Child, the Low Fat Living Cookbook and The California Wine Country Cookbook II. I am retired, due to no longer being able to work because of complications from the Crohns Disease I have lived with since 1971. For a while I didn't even do any cooking or knitting since the inflammatory arthrisis (secondary to the Crohns) was too painful in my hands and feet. Fortunately I am now on a drug protocol that seems to be working, but I am still not able to be as productive as I would like. Still can't work, but I am cooking and knitting again. My husband and I moved to Surprise, Arizona at the end of January 2005. My husband is retired from being in the wine business. I love to cook (and we love to eat) and am always looking for new recipies to try. Due to a slight blood sugar problem my husband has to stick to a diet that eliminates sugars and bad carbs, so I have had to modify a lot of the recipes we like. I love Recipezaar, as I have found so many good, healthy recipes here. I hope you enjoy the recipes that I post as much as I have enjoyed the new ones I've found here.</p>
