Hawaiian Style Meatballs

2 lbs hamburger
2 cans water chestnuts, drained and chopped
4 T soy sauce
2 T brown sugar
1/4 t  pepper
1 t onion powder
1 t garlic salt

Mix together well. (I wear rubber gloves and use my hands.) Roll into small meatballs and place on a baking sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

While cooking, make sauce:
1 C apricot jam or preserves
3 T apple cider vinegar
1/4 C chopped green onions
2 T teriyaki sauce
2 T brown sugar

Transfer cooked meatballs to a crock pot and cover with sauce.  Cook for 1/2-1 hour. (For some reason longer than this in the crock pot and they don't taste as good.)
