Hawaiian-style meatballs with pineapple chunks and green bell pepper in a sweet, somewhat tangy sauce.
Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Sauce
- 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
- 1/3 cup water, or as needed
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Make the meatballs: Mix ground beef, ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a large bowl until well combined. Shape into 1 1/2-inch balls.
Step 2
Saut? meatballs in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce: Pour pineapple juice into a liquid measuring cup, and reserve pineapple chunks; add enough water to pineapple juice to make 1 cup. Mix brown sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl.
Step 4
Transfer meatballs to a plate, reserving the pan drippings. Add pineapple juice and brown sugar mixtures to the warm pan drippings. Stir in vinegar and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Cook until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
Return meatballs to the skillet; add pineapple chunks, and green pepper. Simmer until meatballs are no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
