These meatballs can also be made with ground venison instead of the ground beef - they're delicious either way! The recipe is great for parties or other social gatherings because it's simple to make and can easily be doubled. Ingredients:
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion |
1-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
sauce: |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, undrained |
1/3 cup sliced green onions |
1/3 cup cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 medium green pepper, cut into strips |
hot cooked rice, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 2 dozen 1-1/2-in. balls. Place in a greased 2-qt. baking dish.
2. For sauce, combine brown sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add pineapple and juice, green onions, vinegar and soy sauce; cook and stir just until thickened and bubbly. Pour over meatballs.
3. Cover and bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Stir in green pepper. Cover and bake 10 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink. Serve with rice if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
