Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
¾ cup crushed soda crackers
¼ cup finely chopped onion
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger, or more to taste
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch, or as needed
1 ½ tablespoons water, or as needed
1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

HAWAIIAN MEATBALLS

Talk about one easy dish that creates an amazing sweet and sour sauce! You can serve over rice for more of a dinner-like option, but I also like to offer them as an appetizer simply served with toothpicks. -Julie Schiefer, Nappanee, Indiana
