How to Make Windy's Sweet And Sour Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 cup breadcrumbs.
- Roll the mixture into 48 meatballs (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
- Brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink inside. This should take about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Remove meatballs from skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- In the same skillet, whisk together 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice (from a 20oz can), and 2 tbsp cornstarch.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the browned meatballs, 1 (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks (drained, reserving juice), and 1 cup chopped sweet bell pepper to the sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve immediately with rice or toothpicks for easy buffet serving.
