Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 1/4 cups pineapple juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
One 25-count bag All-Purpose Meatballs (still frozen is fine), recipe follows
1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce
1 cup drained small pineapple chunks
Steamed long-grain rice, for serving
2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish
5 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and 2 cups of the pineapple juice. Bring to a boil.
  • Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch into the remaining 1/4 cup pineapple juice, whisking to get out all the lumps. Whisk the slurry into the skillet and add the All-Purpose Meatballs. Bring to a simmer and add the sriracha. Cover and cook until the sauce is thickened and the meatballs are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the pineapple chunks.
  • Serve over steamed rice, garnished with green onions.
  • To make the meatballs, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, cream, parsley, mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix together well with your hands. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the meatballs onto parchment-lined baking sheets and put the baking sheets in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes for the meatballs to firm up.
  • To brown the meatballs, heat the olive oil in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, turning the meatballs to make sure they brown all over, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
  • Freezer instructions: Put the cooked meatballs in a single layer on baking sheets and put into the freezer. When frozen, divide them into freezer bags, 25 per bag, and return them to the freezer. Yield: 125 meatballs.

SLOW COOKER HAWAIIAN MEATBALLS RECIPE



Slow Cooker Hawaiian Meatballs Recipe image

Turkey meatballs, bell peppers and pineapple tossed in a sweet and tangy Hawaiian sauce.

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (24 ounce) pkg. precooked frozen turkey meatballs
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks (drain and reserve juice)
1 green bell pepper (diced)
1 red bell pepper (diced)
1 cup brown sugar
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup white vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
6 cups cooked rice

Steps:

  • Spray a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place frozen meatballs in the slow cooker and top with drained pineapple (reserve the juice and set aside), green pepper and red pepper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, vinegar and soy sauce.
  • Pour sauce in slow cooker and mix everything to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until heated through.
  • Serve over cooked rice.

Tips for Making Hawaiian Sweet and Sour Meatballs:

  • Choose high-quality ground meat. Ground chuck or pork are both good options for this recipe.
  • Use fresh pineapple juice. Fresh pineapple juice gives the sauce a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Add a little heat. A pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes will add a touch of heat to the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the meatballs. Overcooked meatballs will be tough and dry. Cook them just until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the meatballs over rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian sweet and sour meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are tender and juicy, and the sauce is sweet, sour, and slightly tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family!
