Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

ΒΌ cup freshly grated ginger
1 pound ground beef
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained with juice reserved
1 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 (6 ounce) can pineapple juice, or more as needed
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Mix grated ginger into ground beef and form into meatballs.
  • Cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add pineapple chunks, onion, and bell pepper. Continue to cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the centers and vegetables are hot but not soft, 4 to 6 minutes more.
  • Pour reserved pineapple juice into a large measuring cup. Add enough canned pineapple juice to measure 1 1/2 cups. Bring to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add cornstarch, 1 teaspoon at a time, to ensure it doesn't thicken too much. Cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Pour pineapple sauce over the meatballs.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used a different type of sauce, but the meatballs themselves were perfect.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The meatballs were delicious and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs were perfect! The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, but that's an easy fix.

These meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend adding more moisture to the meatballs, perhaps by using a different type of meat or adding some vegetables.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful.
