Ingredients
-
5 pounds bulk Italian sausage
-
2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained and chopped
-
2 bunches green onion, chopped
-
½ cup soy sauce
-
3 eggs, beaten
-
2 teaspoons garlic powder
-
2 ½ cups fine dry bread crumbs
Sweet and Sour Sauce
-
1 ¼ cups white sugar
-
6 tablespoons cornstarch
-
2 cups white vinegar
-
1 cup pineapple juice
-
1 cup ketchup
-
soy sauce to taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Place the sausage in a large bowl and mix in the chestnuts, green onion, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, eggs, garlic powder, and breadcrumbs. Roll the mixture into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a broiler pan. Bake in the oven for 1 hour. When done, place the meatballs in a slow cooker.
-
While meatballs are cooking, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by stirring together the sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Pour in vinegar, pineapple juice, ketchup, and soy sauce to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened. Pour sauce over meatballs, and keep warm in the slow cooker.
