Steph'S Zesty Sweet And Sour Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained with juice reserved
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pound lean ground beef
1 egg
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup Italian dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 green bell pepper, chopped

Preparation

Heat a slow cooker to Medium-High; stir the reserved liquid from the pineapple chunks, soy sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar together in the slow cooker. Whisk the cornstarch into the mixture until dissolved.
Mix the ground beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, milk, bread crumbs, onion, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; form into 1-inch balls.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook the meatballs in the hot skillet until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the meatballs into the slow cooker. Add the reserved pineapple chunks and green bell pepper.
Cover and cook until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.
