Sweet & Sour Meatballs

First you need to make the meatballs, I use my universal meatball recipe.   

1 pound lean ground beef 

1/2 cup finely chopped onion 

1/4 cup bread crumbs 

2 garlic cloves, minced 

1 egg 

1/4 cup of good quality parmesan cheese 

3 tablespoons ketchup 

1 teaspoon salt 

1/4 teaspoon pepper 

1/2 tablespoon dried parsley 

Combine all the ingredients together and mix together well but do not over mix just mix until everything comes together well.   

For the sauce - combine all ingredients together 

1 cup chopped bell pepper  

20oz can of pineapple chunks in juice (keep the juice)

1 cup chopped onion 

2/3 cup brown sugar 

1 cup ketchup 

1 cup water 

4 tablespoons vinegar 

4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Place meatballs in a large baking dish and then pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs.  Bake for one hour uncovered.    You can serve this over rice or egg noodles.
