Sweet and Sour Meatball Simmer


This is one of our favorites! (Especially me because it's easy!)
Serve with a steamed vegetable for a complete dinner.
I found this recipe on Kraftfoods.com.

3/4 lb. homemade meatballs or (3/4 of 16-oz. pkg. frozen prepared)
1 medium each red and yellow pepper, cut into chunks
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup apricot jam
1/4 cup Catalina Dressing
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
3/4 tsp. each ground ginger and garlic powder
2 cups brown or white rice, prepared according to package directions

COMBINE all ingredients except rice in large skillet; cover.
Cook on medium heat 10 min. , stirring occasionally.

INCREASE heat to medium-high; uncover. Cook 8 to 10 min.,
or until sauce is thickened and meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally.

SERVE over the hot cooked rice.

Makes 4 servings, 1 cup each
**variation.. can substitute 3 cups frozen vegetables for the peppers. Just add during last 6 min. of the final cooking time.
