Sweet and Sour Meatballs

I got this recipe off of Melanie's Sugardoodle website. We tried it last night and it turned out very yummy, so I thought I'd share:

Beware….this is seriously delish!! It is my sister-in-law, Kristin’s recipe. This recipe makes about 17-18 meatballs. I love this recipe because most of the ingredients are ones you’d have on hand anyway.

To make the meatballs, you’ll need:
1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
1 TBSP cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. chopped onion (I prefer red onion but it doesn’t really matter)
dash of pepper

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together with your hand. It will be somewhat sticky. Form into balls and brown in a small amount of oil.

Drain all but 1 TBSP oil. Pour the meatballs and 1 TBSP oil in a dish and set aside.

For sauce:
1 can pineapple tidbits (tidbits AND juice)
3 TBSP cornstarch
1 TBSP soy sauce
3 TBSP vinegar
6 TBSP water
1/2 cup sugar

In your frying pan, mix the above ingredients until it thickens. I usually mix the water and cornstarch seperately and then put it in the frying pan so it doesn’t make dumplings! Put meatballs back in sauce and heat through. Serve over rice and thoroughly enjoy!
