Ingredients
  • From scratch meatballs:
  • 2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 2 Cups bread crumbs
  • 1/2 Cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • -------
  • for cooking from scratch meatballs:
  • 1/4 Cup flour
  • 6 Tbs vegetable oil
  • ------
  • OR: 2 lbs of ready made meatballs (plain, no flavoring)
  • ------
  • sauce:
  • 13-1/4 oz can of pineapple chunks and the juice
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 2 green bell peppers (on the small side) cut into 3/4 inch squares
  • 3 Tbs white vinegar

Directions
  1. To make meatballs from scratch mix the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl and shape into 1 and 1/2 inch balls. Sprinkle the flour on a sheet of wax paper and roll the balls around to coat them so they stay together. Brown the meatballs in the oil in a skillet, medium high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning often. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. OR ... warm two pounds of ready made meatballs in the microwave.
  3. Combine the 4 sauce ingredients, bring to a slow boil, add the meatballs and simmer covered, for about 15 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender-crisp. That can be done in a skillet or a crock pot.
  4. If you use a crock pot don't overcook it.
  5. Prepare yourself for rave reviews.

Love this Crazy.


Another great sounding appetizer! Love the pineapple sauce here!


Hey Crazy... I have some ground venison in the freezer. I will try your recipe and let you know how they turned out....;-)


Now that's a different sauce with the pineapple and tomato sauce - gotta try this one...love meatballs, and I'll even go the extra mile and make your homemade version. Now I just need to invite some people over to help eat them. Bet you could serve this over rice for a main dish, too - bonus!
