Ultimate Sweet & Tangy Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 portions of beef bouillon granules, separated
• ¼ cup water, boiling
• 1 ½ pounds ground beef, lean
• 1 cup breadcrumbs, dry
• ¾ cup onion, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 can pineapple chunks (20 ounces), drained, juice saved
• ⅓ cup lemon juice, fresh
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, grated
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 bell pepper, green, diced

Step 1

Start by preparing a flavorful broth in a small saucepan by mixing bouillon granules with boiling water. In a spacious bowl, unite ground beef, bread crumbs, diced onion, and an egg. Combine the broth with the mixture and form meatballs, aiming for a size of about 1 to 2 inches each.

Step 2

Next, in a large saucepan set over medium heat, sear the meatballs until they are browned on all sides. In a separate bowl, blend reserved pineapple juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, a bit of ginger, and more beef bouillon granules. Pour this delightful concoction over the meatballs in the pan. Cover it up and let it simmer gently for around 25 minutes.

Step 3

In another small bowl, mix together the remaining pineapple juice with cornstarch. Introduce this mixture into the simmering meatballs and let it thicken up nicely. To elevate the dish further, toss in some fresh green pepper and pineapple chunks, allowing them to heat through and meld with the flavors. Enjoy the delicious outcome of your efforts in creating this delightful dish.
