Sweet and Sour Meat Balls

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

By Celeste Giron


1½ lb. ground beef
2/3 c. cracker crumbs
1/3 c. minced onion
1 egg
1½ tsp. salt
Pepper to taste

Mix thoroughly and shape into meatballs. I like to brown them in the oven. It is less messy and more uniformly brown. Bake at 350 degrees until brown and cooked through. Remove from oven.

In large frying pan mix:

½ c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/3 c. vinegar
1 (13 ½ oz.) can pineapple tidbits, drained. Put the juice in now and save pineapple for later.
2 Tbsp. cornstarch Mix the cornstarch with the pineapple liquid before combining with the rest.
( I usually double the sauce part because I like more sauce)
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and boils. Add meatballs, pineapple tidbits and 1/3 c. chopped green pepper. Heat through. Serve with rice
