1/2 cup French-bread crumbs (2 slices)
1 8-oz can no-sugar-added pineapple chunks, in natural juices

Recipe
In a bowl, sprinkle garlic powder, ginger and black pepper over meat. Add onion, egg and bread crumbs. Blend until well mixed. Shape into 1-inch balls. Cook meatballs in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until well browned on all sides. Set aside and keep warm.
Drain pineapple chunks, reserving liquid. Mix reserved juice with water to make 1 cup. Pour into skillet. Add brown sugar, cornstarch, vinegar and soy sauce. Heat stirring constantly, about 3 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Add meatballs, pineapple chunks and bell pepper. Stir to coat evenly with sauce. Cover and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and butter or margarine.
Serve over rice.
