Time 4h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound lean ground beef
¾ cup crushed soda crackers
¼ cup finely chopped onion
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger, or more to taste
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch, or as needed
1 ½ tablespoons water, or as needed
1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Mix ground beef, crushed soda crackers, onion, eggs, milk, garlic, salt, pepper, and ginger in a large bowl until well combined. Shape the mixture into 1- or 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Combine pineapple and juice, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl or cup and gradually stir into the boiling sauce until slightly thickened.
  • Place meatballs in a slow cooker. Pour pineapple sauce over meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on Low until meatballs are no longer pink inside and have absorbed the sauce, 4 to 5 hours.

These meatballs were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I found that the meatballs were a little dry. I think I'll try adding some more liquid to the sauce next time.

These meatballs were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less pineapple juice next time.
