Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Ingredients:
sweet and sour sauce
meatballs (about 24)
rice

Optional:
pineapple (canned or fresh)
sliced carrots - about 2
chopped bell pepper - 1/2 of giant one
chopped onion

Put rice on stove to cook.
Prepare Sweet and Sour sauce as above.

While sauce is heating up, put meatballs in the microwave on defrost until no longer frozen through (they can still be pretty cold, especially if you have time on your hands).

Once sauce has boiled for one minute, add meatballs and other optional ingredients and lower heat to low or medium low. Leave on stove until meatballs are heated through and rice is done. Serve meatballs and sauce over rice.
