Meatball Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground beef
2/3 C Milk
1/2 C Chopped Onion
3/4 C Cracker crumbs (Panko or crusty bread crumbs can be subs.)
1 T Salt
Mix, form into balls, bake for 12-15 minutes at 400
Sweet & Sour Sauce Ingredients:
20 oz Can Pineapple Chunks
1 C Cubed Green Pepper
1/4 C Brown Sugar
1/4 C Rice Vinegar (Apple Cider Vinegar can be subs.)
2 T Soy Sauce
2 T Cornstarch
Drain pineapple juice into a measuring cup, then add enough water to make 1 cup of liquid. Mix in corn starch to create a slurry then add brown sugar, vinegar and soy sauce.
Heat in a sauce pan until thick and sugar is incorporated.
