Provided by Alisha D.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 large egg, beaten
3 ½ tablespoons cornstarch, divided
¾ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, undrained
1 cup pineapple juice, or as needed
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup water
1 tablespoon water
¼ cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
2 green bell peppers, cut into thin strips
2 cups hot cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, onion, egg, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Use a cookie scoop to shape into meatballs.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning often, until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove meatballs from the skillet and drain oil, reserving 1 1/2 tablespoons of drippings.
  • Drain pineapple chunks from the can, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. Add enough additional pineapple juice to make 1 1/2 cups total.
  • Combine pineapple juice, sugar, 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vinegar, soy sauce, and remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch in a bowl; mix well. Stir into drippings in the skillet.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened. Add meatballs, pineapple chunks, and bell peppers. Cook until thoroughly heated, coating well, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Overall, I thought these meatballs were pretty good. I would make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

The sauce was a little too thick for my liking. I would add more pineapple juice or water next time.

The meatballs were a bit dry. I think I didn't cook them long enough.

These meatballs were a little too sweet for my taste. I would cut back on the sugar next time.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used ground turkey instead of beef and I added some chopped green peppers to the sauce. They turned out really well!
