Ingredients

  • 2 pounds 93% lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks with juice (juice reserved)
  • 4 ounces green bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Water as needed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ginger, garlic powder, salt and pepper until combined.
  • Using your hands or a cookie dough scoop, form mixture into 1-inch balls. Place meatballs, pineapple chunks and bell pepper in an even layer on prepared pan and spray with cooking spray. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through and peppers are tender.
  • Meanwhile, prepare sauce by whisking together 1 cup reserved pineapple juice (if there isn’t enough left from the can, add enough water to get 1 cup of liquid), brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until thickened.
