Cooking Instructions
Freeze For Later Cooking Day Directions
These directions help you cook or prepare this meal PRIOR to being frozen for serving later (see Serving Day Directions when you are ready to prepare it to eat).
Why would I want to freeze this?
- Allow meatballs to thaw slightly (to get them to thread onto skewers). On skewers, alternate meatballs, peppers, onions, and pineapple. When threading skewers, place the last chunk on the sharp tip of the skewer so it doesn't poke through the freezer bag.

Join the discussionIs it a bottled sweet and sour sauce, or do you have a recipe for homemade? Thanks!
In this recipe I just used bottled for ease.
WOWZA – the flavors in this look cantastic! Thanks so much for linking up with Friday Potluck!
Can you use the rice balls instead of meatballs?
I would say, yes, but probably only the BROIL method. I’d be afraid they’d fall apart on the grill and/or get stuck on the grate.
Can you use chicken pieces instead of meatballs?
I don’t see why not, that sounds yummy.
If I use the precooked frozen meatballs, should I thaw them to put them on the skewers and then re-freeze or do you have another trick? Just tried putting one on a skewer frozen and it didn’t go so well!! Thanks for the help!!
