This is one of my all time favorite recipes. I think I got it from my old roommate Andrea.
Waikiki Meatballs
1 ½ pounds ground hamburger
½ cup chopped onion
1 egg
2/3 cup cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ cup milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup brown sugar
1 can pineapple chunks (pour off juice and reserve)
1/3 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 green pepper, chopped
Mix hamburger, crumbs, egg and onion together. Shape meat by tablespoonfuls into balls. Place meatball in a large baking pan lined with foil and put in the oven. I always just guess the time and temp. Around 20 minutes at 350* or until done. Pour fat from pan of cooked meatballs. Set aside and keep warm.
Mix together cornstarch, sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar and soy sauce until smooth. Pour into skillet and cook until mixture thickens. Add green pepper and allow to cook to crisp-tender. Add meatballs, and pineapple, heat through. Serve with rice.

YUM! I love this recipe -- you are right, you probably got it from Andrea. My mom used to make this all the time. Maybe I will make it tonight for dinner -- thanks for the idea! :)
Yes, I can attest to this always tasty meal. I made it a couple of months ago and every time it makes Nick excited to eat! I love your recipes because they aren't super involved and they ALWAYS taste great.
All these years later I am still jumping on your blog for this recipe! I've adjusted it a bit--I add fresh minced garlic and ginger to the sauce when I have it on hand. And I add a little salt and pepper to the meatballs.
