Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings Meatballs: 1 pound ground beef ½ teaspoon ground ginger ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper Sauce: 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved ⅓ cup water, or as needed ¼ cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch ¼ cup white vinegar 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 green bell pepper, chopped Directions Make the meatballs: Mix ground beef, ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a large bowl until well combined. Shape into 1 1/2-inch balls. Sauté meatballs in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 10 minutes. While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce: Pour pineapple juice into a liquid measuring cup, and reserve pineapple chunks; add enough water to pineapple juice to make 1 cup. Mix brown sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Transfer meatballs to a plate, reserving the pan drippings. Add pineapple juice and brown sugar mixtures to the warm pan drippings. Stir in vinegar and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Cook until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Return meatballs to the skillet; add pineapple chunks, and green pepper. Simmer until meatballs are no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
