Steph's Zesty Sweet and Sour Meatballs image

These meatballs are great! I came up with them on a whim one night while searching through my pantry trying to answer the age old question, 'What's for dinner?' My family LOVES these! I have also taken them to several BBQ's and they are ALWAYS a big hit! For dinner, I like to serve them with a side of steamed minute rice to go along with the meatballs. I hope you enjoy!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained with juice reserved
1 tablespoon soy sauce
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup milk
½ cup Italian dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
½ teaspoon salt
