Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Sauce
2/3 cup Brown Sugar
2/3 cup Pineapple Juice
1 tsp Ketchup
1/4 cup White Vinegar
1 tsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Cornstarch

1/2-1 Green Pepper, sliced
1/2-1 Red Pepper, sliced
1 can Pineapple Chunks

Meatballs
4 Eggs
2 cups Dry Bread Crumbs
1/2 cup Finely Chopped Onion
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp Pepper
4 lbs Ground Beef

For Sauce- Combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup, vinegar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Mix 2 tbsp of cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water and add to sauce to thicken. Reduce heat to low- medium and add sliced peppers, pineapple and cooked meatballs. Continue to cook for aprox. 10 minutes.

For meatballs- In large bowl, beat eggs. Add the next 5 ingredients. Add beef; mix well. Shape into 1 in balls, about 12 dozen.
Place in single layers in ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain and cool.

Serve over or alongside rice & enjoy!

*This makes a lot of meatballs but it is the recipe I like the best. I usually do the meatballs ahead of time and freeze them. Then I can use them for a variety of dinners. Using frozen meatballs makes dinner easy and fast. Best of all it is still yummy!

These sound so good; especially with the pineapple. I've always done my dad's recipe for meatballs, which we really love but this one sounds even better!! And as always I LOVE being able to freeze for later :)
