1 1/2 lb ground pork
1 large onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
1/4 cup Progresso™ plain bread crumbs
1 egg
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped green bell pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with cooking parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, mix all meatball ingredients. Shape mixture by 2 tablespoonfuls into balls. Place on cookie sheet.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on outside and no longer pink in center.
  • Meanwhile, in large saucepan, stir together broth, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon gingerroot and 1 garlic clove. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. In small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture to simmering sauce; stir well.
  • In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook bell peppers in oil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Reduce heat to low. Add pineapple; cook 3 to 4 minutes longer or until pineapple is starting to cook around the edges.
  • Add bell pepper, pineapple and meatballs to sauce in saucepan. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes until meatballs are coated with sauce and mixture is thoroughly heated.
  • Serve meatballs, sauce and vegetables over cooked rice, or serve with toothpicks.
