Note:  Even though sugar is pictured and is a recipe ingredient, Brandie notes that sugar may not be needed if using a sweet barbecue sauce.  I personally don't use it.  I also let the mixture cook down a little longer than 10 minutes to really thicken the sauce.

My mom made this for holiday dinners all the time while we were growing up.  The salad was invented by Kraft in 1975--the same year they developed pistachio pudding.  According to Wikipedia:  "When the recipe for Pistachio Pineapple Delight was sent out, an unnamed Chicago food editor renamed it Watergate Salad to promote interest in the recipe when she printed it in her column.  Neither the article nor editor has been tracked down, however.

The Denver Post, in the Empire Magazine of June 27, 1976, published a recipe for Watergate Salad. Rumor has it that Watergate salad was a concoction thought up by a sous chef at the Watergate Hotel, and it was then served at brunch on most weekends. Watergate Salad took off in popularity during and after the presidential scandal which shares the same name."

Crock Pot Swedish Meatballs 101:  I like a thicker sauce, so after the meatball mixture has cooked, stir in the sour cream.  In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with just enough cold water to make the mixture a liquid.  Stir the cornstarch mixture into the meatballs, turn the slow cooker on high, and cover until ready to serve.
