This is a super tasty recipe that everyone in the family gobbles up and goes back for seconds... and maybe even thirds! It's magical because it's a rare occasion when ALL adults and children love the same meal... unless it's pizza! It can be prepared all at once on the stove top or you can make ahead and dump it in a crockpot - which is my preferred method! Since this recipe calls for only a few simple ingredients that are usually on hand... this is a staple in our hidey hole.
Ingredients:
2 lbs beef meatballs, homemade or frozen store-bought (approx. $4.50)
2 cups brown sugar (approx. $.45)
1/2 cup soy sauce (approx. $.40)
2/3 white vinegar (approx. $.09)
1/4 cornstarch (approx. $.10)
20 oz can pineapple chunks (approx. $.88)
On the stove top, bring the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cornstarch to a boil while whisking. When it begins to boil add the pineapple (including juice) then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. If you are cooking in the crockpot then add the frozen meatballs and poor the prepared mixture over the top. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4 hours. If you are cooking on stove top with homemade then once the cooked mixture is prepared simply add the meatballs and cook until heated through. Serve over white rice.
Makes 8 servings. Only $.80 per serving!!
