Sweet and Sour Meatballs


I made this for dinner a long time ago and remembered the recipe last night. It's such a simple meal and tastes like you've been cooking all day. (not my photo, for the record.) The little touch of tomato in it gives it a little kick. Everyone loved it!


Meatballs:

1 pound hamburger
1 egg
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 sprinkle of nutmeg

Mix all ingredients. Make tiny meatballs and bworn on all sides in a little olive oil. OR use premade meatballs if you're in a pinch.

Sauce:

3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 can Pineapple tidbits (do not drain)
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
3 Tbsp. vinegar
1/2 cup cold water
3/4 cup sugar
8 oz. can of tomato sauce
1 green pepper

Dissolve cornstarch in water. Add remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil until thinckened. Add green pepper and simmer. Pour over meatballs. Serve over cooked rice. Serves six. Enjoy!
