    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
    2/3 cup saltine cracker crumbs
    1/3 cup minced onions
    1/4 cup milk
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 (15 1/4 ounce) can pineapple tidbits in juice
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/3 cup cider vinegar
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 medium green bell pepper, diced


    Recipe



    Combine ground beef, saltine cracker crumbs, onion, milk, egg, salt, and ginger in a large bowl and mix well. Shape the ground beef mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls into balls.

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs. Cook, turning them frequently, until cooked through and browned. Remove from skillet using a slotted spoon to a paper towel covered platter and drain.

    Drain pineapple, reserving 3/4 cup of juice. Combine reserved juice, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, and soy sauce in a small bowl; mix well. Pour into skillet.

    Cook the juice mixture over medium heat, stirring continually, until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the meatballs, pineapple tidbits and bell pepper and mix well.

    Cook, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 10 minutes.

    Serve over rice or buttered egg noodles.

    Serves 6.
