Sweet and Sour Meatballs
This is the easiest meatball recipe I have ever had and is so delicious. I even tried it in the crockpot for shabbat lunch and it was really good.

Hi- Everyone has a sweet and sour meatball recipe! My favorite for year round is 1 jar of chile sauce, 1/2 jar current jelly and 3 TBSP ketchup. I use ground turkey and add 1 egg, 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper , 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs or matzo meal and 2 TBSP boiling water to it. On Pesach, I use 1 can jellied cranberry sauce and 2 cups ketchup.
Tamar, can you give us some guidance to cook these in the crockpot? how long do we cook them for and at what temp? at what point do we lower it for the rest of Shabbos? do we need to add additional water before Shabbos so it does not dry out? please advise…thanks so much.
It has been so long since I did for Shabbat, but I think it worked well as is. I poured all the sauce in and then placed the meatballs on top and let cook on low the whole time. The meat cooks through pretty quickly so I don’t think you have to put it on high first or anything, but is best if you can stir it around a bit before Shabbat. Also I was given a tip I would try to help from drying out and that is adding shredded apple to the meat, if you try it let me know.
