INGREDIENTS
Meatballs
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
2/3 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1-2 tsp. red pepper flakes, optional
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 egg
2 tsp. ginger

Sauce
2 Tbs. Cornstarch
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup vinegar
3 Tbs. soy sauce
1 can pineapple tidbits
2/3 cup chopped green pepper

DIRECTIONS
Mix together meatball ingredients and roll into meatballs. Brown and cook over medium heat in large skillet. (Another option: instead of cooking the meatballs in a skillet, roll them, put them on a cookie sheet and cook them in the oven at 425 for 13-14 minutes.)

Mix cornstarch and brown sugar. Drain pineapple juice into mixture with the vinegar and soy sauce. Add green pepper and pineapple to meatballs, once cooked through add the sauce mixture and cook until thickened. Serve over rice.

Note: You can double the sauce ingredients to have more for the rice.
