Sweet and Sour Meatballs recipe as requested

2 lbs. ground beef
1 1/4 c bread crumbs
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2-3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 cup finely chopped onions

Sauce
1 can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
1-1/4 cups ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 cup chopped green peppers

1. Combine all meatball ingredients. Shape into 60-80 meatballs. Brown in skillet, rolling so all sides are browned. Place in slow cooker.
2. Pour juice from pineapples into skillet. Stir into drippings (I actually drain the drippings, we think the sauce tastes fresher without them...)
3. Combine cornstarch and cold water. Add to skillet and stir until thickened.
4. Stir in ketchup and Worchestershire sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Add green peppers and pineapples. Pour over meatballs.
5. Cover. Cook on Low 6 hours. (recipe from Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook)
