Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, but be careful not to overmix to keep the meatballs tender.
-
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
-
While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth.
-
Add the pineapple chunks and the sauce mixture to the skillet with the onions and bell peppers. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the skillet with the sweet and sour sauce. Gently toss to coat the meatballs in the sauce.
-
Serve the Sweet and Sour Meatballs over cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions for a pop of freshness.
