Very fast, easy recipe. My kids loved it. Came from a cookbook that came with my first microwave in early 1980's. These meatballs microwave very quickly because of the moist pineapple filling. Ingredients:
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks |
1 lb ground beef |
1 egg |
2 slices fresh bread, crumbled |
1 tablespoon instant minced onion |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon clove |
1/8 teaspoon allspice |
2 tablespoons reserved pineapple syrup |
1/3 cup reserved pineapple syrup |
1/3 cup ketchup |
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed) |
Directions:
1. Drain pineapple well, reserving syrup.
2. Mix together beef, egg, bread crumbs, onion, salt, cloves, allspice and 2 T of pineapple syrup.
3. Mold small amount of mixture around each pineapple chunk.
4. Place meatballs in 12x8x2 inch dish.
5. Cover with wax paper.
6. Microwave at high 4 minutes.
7. Pour off meat juices.
8. Stir together rest of syrup, ketchup and brown sugar.
9. Pour over drained meatballs.
10. Microwave at high 3 to 5 minutes longer, until done.
11. Serve with rice or noodles or serve with toothpicks as an appetizer.
12. Makes about 24 to 30 meatballs.
