Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Another quick and easy dinner idea is Sweet and Sour Meatballs. They are a nice change to the usual spaghetti and meatballs.

I’m looking for dinners that I can do quickly and hopefully with one hand. Ellie wants to be held while I’m cooking usually and it takes talent. I like to try new recipes and to keep variety in my life. Dinner this week has been hectic.

I feel like I can not keep up with all of the things that I need to do right now. We are really trying to eat home instead of eating out. My kids like rice and meatballs so this will be definite winner/staple in our family!

Ingredients

1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
30 frozen fully cooked Italian meatballs (about 15 ounces)
1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
Hot cooked rice

Directions

Drain pineapple, save the juice. Add water to juice if needed to measure 1 cup; pour liquid into a large skillet. Add 1/3 cup water, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir the mixture until it is smooth.
Cook over medium heat until it thickens, stirring constantly. Add the pineapple, meatballs and green pepper.
Simmer, uncovered, until heated through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve on top of rice.
