Meatballs are not Polynesian and the sauce isn't authentic cuisine either. Just never mind. You'll find this to be one of your best appetizers ever. Quick and easy. If you make the meatballs from scratch it takes a bit longer. Read more 2 pounds of meat should make 32 balls. What are you waiting for? Get started. See less

How to make it
- To make meatballs from scratch mix the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl and shape into 1 and 1/2 inch balls. Sprinkle the flour on a sheet of wax paper and roll the balls around to coat them so they stay together. Brown the meatballs in the oil in a skillet, medium high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning often. Set aside and keep warm.
- OR ... warm two pounds of ready made meatballs in the microwave.
- Combine the 4 sauce ingredients, bring to a slow boil, add the meatballs and simmer covered, for about 15 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender-crisp. That can be done in a skillet or a crock pot.
- If you use a crock pot don't overcook it.
- Prepare yourself for rave reviews.
