A long time ago I mentioned a cookbook my grandma bought me when I was a teenager. It’s called Clueless in the Kitchen. This recipe came from that cookbook. We usually use the meatballs in this cookbook that I’d previously posted here, but lately I’ve been using some Teriyaki Pineapple chicken meatballs I found at Costco. They work out so well for this meal and the kids actively fight over the meatballs.
Hawaiian Meatballs
- 1 14 oz can Pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp vinegar
- 1 batch plain old meatballs
- 1 green pepper, cut into large squares
- 1 onion, cut into large squares
- Rice
Drain the pineapple chunks, pouring the juice into a measuring cup. Add enough water to the juice to make 1 1/4 cups of liquid. Pour into a saucepan. In the saucepan, add brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, soy sauce, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce is thickened. Dump in the cooked meatballs and let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes. Add the green pepper, the onion, and the pineapple chunks, bring to a boil and cook for about 5 more minutes. Serve over rice.
