How to Make Sweet Sour Meatballs Ii

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, gently combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, and pepper. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
  2. Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  3. While meatballs bake, whisk together cornstarch and sugar in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Stir in undrained pineapple chunks, soy sauce, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in chopped green bell pepper.
  8. Cover and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the green pepper is crisp-tender.
  9. Serve the sweet and sour meatballs over a bed of fluffy rice. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
