Sweet and Sour Meat Ball Recipe

Meat Balls
1 lb ground hamburger
1 egg lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons of chopped onion
1 Tablespoon of cooking oil

Sweet and Sour Sauce
3 Tablespoons of Cornstarch
3 Tablespoons of Cider Vinegar
1 8oz can of pineapple chunks
1/2 cup of sugar
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 medium bell pepper cut into strips

In a bowl, combine meat, egg, cornstarch, salt, pepper and onion. Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. In a large skillet brown meatballs in cooking oil. Cover and cook over low heat until the meatballs are done, about 10 minutes.

In a sauce pan stir vinegar and cornstarch until smooth. Drain pineapple reserving juice. Set pineapple aside. Add enough water to pineapple juice to equal 1 1/2 cups. Stir into vinegar mixture. Add sugar and soy sauce; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Add the meatballs, pineapple and green peppers. Cook until heated through and green pepper is tender. (my kids like them on the side not cooked in)

Serve over noodles or rice. Makes 3 to 4 servings.

My family also likes the sweet and sour sauce over rice and popcorn chicken(from Costco), and carrot sticks.
