- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅓ cup finely diced onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1 g reen bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ⅓ cup white vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 14 ounces pineapple tidbits (1 can with juices)
Steps
Combine ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, garlic powder, and diced onion and mix well. Form into ¾" meatballs and place on a baking sheet.
Bake meatballs at 350˚F for 20 minutes.
Whisk garlic, ginger, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce and set aside.
Cut the vegetables into 1-inch chunks, set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook onion with olive oil until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add peppers and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the pineapple with juices, meatballs, and sauce mixture along with ¼ cup water. Simmer 5 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
Create a slurry with the cornstarch and water and add just enough to thicken as desired. You may not need all of the slurry. Serve over rice.
