Waikiki-Inspired Meatballs

Ingredients 0/7

Step 1

Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, milk, egg, and salt until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into meatballs and place them on a baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the bottoms are nicely browned. Once done, transfer the meatballs to your slow cooker.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the cornstarch and brown sugar. Slowly add the reserved pineapple juice and vinegar, stirring until the sauce is smooth. Let it come to a boil for a full minute, then take it off the heat. Pour this sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker.

Step 3

Add the pineapple chunks and chopped green bell pepper to the slow cooker as well. Cover and let everything cook on low for 3 to 4 hours so the flavors can meld together beautifully. When it’s ready, give it a gentle stir and serve!
