Sweet and Sour Pineapple Meatballs
meatballs:
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 pound ground beef (or if you prefer-turkey)
2 tbsp minced onion
1/4 C bread crumbs (store bought is fine-but I keep bread scrapes in my freezer for just such reasons)
1 egg
1/4 C buttermilk (if you have it-otherwise milk is fine)
Sauce:
1 tbsp oil
1 med. onion
1 med bell pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 C ketchup
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp vinegar
1 can chopped pineapple- reserve juice
Make meatballs. Mix ingredients.
Cook in preheated 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
Set aside while making sauce.
For the sauce, heat oil in med. pan and add chopped onion and bell peppers. Cook until tender, drain oil. Mix ketchup and vinegar in bowl and add to veggies. Open the can of pineapple and pour the juice into a bowl. Add the cornstarch and make a paste. Add to veggie mixture.
Cook, stirring for 3-5 minutes. Stir in pineapple chunks and simmer for another 3 -5 minutes.
Add cooked meatballs and heat through.
Serve over brown rice (or white rice if you'd rather have that-I just like brown rice).
This really was tasty and very filling. Let me know how you like it if you try it!
HAPPY EATING!!!!!!!!!!!
