This is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that the whole family can enjoy. It's even gotten my six-year-old's seal of approval! Ingredients:
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks |
3/4 cup maple syrup or 3/4 cup maple-flavor syrup |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
1 (16 ounce) package frozen cooked meatballs |
2 medium sweet red peppers |
1/4 cup cold water |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups hot cooked asian noodles or 2 cups rice |
Directions:
1. Drain pineapple; reserve liquid.
2. In a large saucepan, stir together pineapple liquid, syrup, and vinegar. Add meatballs. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
3. Remove seeds from sweet peppers and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Add to meatballs. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
4. In a bowl, stir together water, cornstarch and salt until smooth. Stir into meatball mixture. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
