Sweet Pineapple w/Meatballs Recipe
* 1.5lb ground beef * 2/3C breadcrumbs * 1/3C minced onion or green onions * 1 egg * 1/4C milk * 1 1/2t ground ginger * 1/2t salt * 2-3T cornstarch * 1C packed brown sugar * 15oz can pineapple chunks - drained, with juice reserved ( i add a tiny can as well if I have extra guests) * 2/3C white VINEGAR * 2T soy sauce * 2/3C chopped green bell pepper * 2/3C chopped red bell pepper Combine beef bread crumbs, onion, egg, milk, ginger and salt. Shape mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls into meatballs. Bake at 350 for 20-30 min (until done). Note: I always make meatballs ahead of time and when everyone is ready to eat, I make the sauce and let the meatballs sit in it until heated through. Ready in about 7 minutes! In large skillet, combine corn starch in the reserve pineapple until dissolved. Then add green/red peppers, brown sugar, vinegar & soy sauce. Mix until smooth, then add pineapple and meatballs. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture really thickens [must boil] and becomes dark, about 5 minutes. |

| That looks very tasty. I want to try it but do you think there is any way of cutting down the sugar and still having it turn out alright? |
| I always double the sauce. You don't have to. I also make "more" so I have leftovers, so that's how I wrote the recipe. It works w/1lb of meat, and 1/2C bs, still 15oz of pineapples, 1/3C vinegar, 1T soy sauce, still same amount of green/red peppers. |
| Yummy, I made it Friday night and froze the extra for another meal. Thanks, this is a keeper. |
This sounds delicious, Joah! I'm going to print it now as I'm going to the market later this evening. I'll make this for dinner one night this week for sure. YUM.  |
