Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs lean ground beef ( use your favorite meatball recipe and shape into about 1 to 1-1/2-inch balls)
2 (20 oz) cans crushed pineapple (drained but reserve the juice in a measuring cup)
2/3 cup water
4 tbsp ketchup
6 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2-2 cups brown sugar , packed (or to taste)
6 tbsp cornstarch (measured 6 tbsps exactly)
1 -2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
cooked rice

Directions:

Set oven to 400 degrees.
Place the shaped meatballs onto a greased baking sheet and cook for about 15 minutes; set aside.
For the sauce; to the reserved pineapple juice in the measuring cup add in enough water to measure 2 cups.
