Polynesian Meatballs

Polynesian Meatballs- these from-scratch meatballs are coated in a sweet and sour glaze with pineapple tidbits and green bell pepper. Serve over white rice for a delicious meal or appetizer.

It doesn’t take long to make these meatballs, but if you wanted to, you could use a bag of frozen meatballs. The meatballs are made from from a mixture of lean ground beef, onion, panko crumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, and ground ginger.

How To Make

The meatballs are browned in oil in a nonstick skillet. Once the meatballs are browned on all sides, remove them from the pan. They don’t have to be completely cooked at this point.

Polynesian Meatballs Recipe Tips

• You can substitute crushed Saltine crackers for the Panko crumbs.
• When shaping the meatballs, wet your hands with water or lightly grease them with oil so the meat doesn’t stick to your hands.
• You can mix the meatball ingredients together and shape into meatballs up to 8 hours ahead of time. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Be careful not to overmix the meatball mixture or you will have tough meatballs.
• To make this dish spicy, add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the glaze.

Storage

Will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
