SIMPLY SURF'S UP MEATBALLS
.
.
Last year, our church had a Hawaiian themed covered dish luncheon. I wanted to take something that went along with that theme so I made up a recipe. It turned out really scrumptious if I do say so myself.

I've posted the recipe here before, but since its summer and lots of folks are going to cookouts or are participating in Vacation Bible Schools using the Lifeway "Outrigger Island" curriculum, I thought I'd repost it.

Throw that wildly printed shirt on, grab a lei or two, and enjoy!

SIMPLY SURF'S UP MEATBALLS

2 32 oz bags of frozen meatballs (original flavor...not "Italian")
1 20 oz can of crushed pineapple
1 cup of salsa
2 tsps of Ginger (powder form)

Cook the meatballs in a skillet with just a bit of oil and occasionally turning them til they are browned. While they are cooking, mix together the pineapple, salsa, and ginger. Put half of it in the bottom of a crockpot. Put the meatballs in the crockpot. Pour the rest of the pineapple/salsa mixture over the meatballs and stir GENTLY til all the balls have some sauce on them. Cook the meatballs on low or high heat til they are hot and bubbly then turn to warm until ready to serve.

Eat them by themselves or they can be served over rice. If going the rice route, double the "sauce" so that you'll have plenty of it to flavor and moisten the rice.

BTW, don't you just love teens and pre-teens? Looking at the picture, I just can't help but smile and shake my head!
