Couldn't get meatballs to stick. Was a mess.
Next time, browned hamburger, added rice & green pepper, added barbecue sauce & pineapple slowly to suit our taste. Was a good skillet meal. Don't like meatballs anyway.

Very good recipe. My whole family loved it. I will have to make this one fairly often. Easy too.

I have actually used store bought meat balls with this and put it in my crock pot on low it is a favorite and asked for often.

This was okay, but not great. I had to make adjustments so the meatballs wouldn't fall apart and even then had to treat them very gently during the cooking. It was an easy weeknight meal but didn't look as good as the photo.
