Hawaiian Meatballs & more

These are sweet and sour, kids may not like it. Great with chow mein noodles on rice.Basic Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 egg
1-2 Tbsp milk
1/2 C bread crumbs or crushed saltines
salt and pepper to taste

1. Mash ingredients together, roll into balls. Pan fry, rotating the balls frequently so all sides brown. Remove balls from skillet.

(This can also be used as a meatloaf recipe. I like to add BBQ Sauce and onions. Put into a loaf pan and bake at 350 for 30-60 minutes until done. Or you can use it to make hamburgers.)

Hawaiian Sauce:
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 C brown sugar
1 can pineapple tidbits, reserve juice
1/3 C vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce

1. Mix cornstarch and sugar.
2. Stir in reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth.
3. Pour into skillet, cook until thickened. Boil and stir one minute.
4. Add meatball and pineapple tidbits. Heat thoroughly.
