Wow super recipe!!!!!!!! I made the sauce exactly as the recipe said. I browned the meat balls for a few minutes and let them boil in the sauce for about 15 minutes. I served them with brown and wild rice.

Yuuuuummmmy !!! more than 5 stars yummy This is comfort food, easy, simple, basic, honest and quick. This mega simple recipe may just be a recipe to make me into as big a pasta fan as my DH. He always makes pasta sans sauce and I find it sooo boring... now THIS recipe comes to my rescue... easy to make when you are in a hurry, I cooked it a bit longer so that the sauce reduced and became nice and thick, added it to a steaming heap of spagetti ... took it to the table and practically inhaled it If you have mince meat (ground meat) in your fridge and you are looking for a new twist instead of the "same old, same old..." especially on budget, then this recipe is it. I used cheap canned tomatoes, and substituted beadcrumbs in the meatballs since we don't have matzo meal here and it turned out great. This is definiately a store cupboard meal that you could make for unexpected guests,or teenage kids who seemingly have hollow legs and if you are careful with the chili, it's fussy eater friendly and most of all, amost laughingly easy to make. That definiately constitutes a very well deserved 5 stars in my book Many Thanks for posting the recipe.

I love quick and easy recipes and this certainly is one. A trick I learnt long ago was to always use wet hands to roll meatballs. When rolling out the meatballs I found the ground beef was very fatty so instead of cooking in the sauce I grilled (broiled) the meatballs to drain some fat, then cooked them in the sauce for about 5 minutes before serving. Excellent tasting sauce, infact I kept looking for the pineapple! (it doesn't need it). Thanks for posting a keeper for our family
