Ingredients
- Meatballs:
- A pound of lean ground beef
- Three-quarters cup of crushed soda crackers
- A quarter cup of finely chopped onion (can be omitted)
- Two large eggs
- Two tablespoons of milk
- One crushed clove of garlic (optional)
- One and one-fourth teaspoons of salt
- A quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper
- A quarter teaspoon of ground ginger, adjust to taste
- Sauce:
- One and a half tablespoons of cornstarch, or as required
- One and a half tablespoons of water, as needed
- One can (14 ounces) of crushed pineapple with its juice
- One cup of brown sugar
- Half a cup of vinegar
- Three tablespoons of soy sauce
Step 1
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and have a baking sheet ready lined with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine ground beef, crushed soda crackers, diced onion, eggs, milk, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and a hint of ginger, ensuring they blend harmoniously. Shape into small-sized balls of 1 to 1 1/2 inches and place them gently onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Let them bake in the preheated oven until they turn a tempting shade of brown, which usually takes about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring together pineapple chunks with their juice, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir occasionally as you bring the mixture to a gentle boil. In a separate small bowl, create a slurry by mixing cornstarch with water. Gradually introduce this into the boiling sauce, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly.
Step 5
As the meatballs finish baking, transfer them into a slow cooker. Drizzle the luscious pineapple sauce generously over the meatballs, ensuring they get coated evenly.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker and let the magic happen on a Low setting. Allow the meatballs to cook through, absorbing all the delightful flavors of the sauce, usually for 4 to 5 hours. You'll know they're ready when they are no longer pink inside, tender, and bursting with flavor.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Marinate and Freeze: Marinate your meatballs in a delicious Hawaiian sauce before freezing for an easy flavor boost when you're ready to cook.
- 2. Label and Date: Keep your freezer organized by labeling and dating your meatballs, so you know exactly what you have on hand.
- 3. Vacuum Seal: Preserve the freshness of your meatballs by vacuum sealing them before storing in the freezer.
