Sweet and Sour Meatballs


Yield: one dozen meatballs

Meatballs:
1 pound of ground beef
1 egg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoon chopped onion
dash of pepper

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together with your hand.  It will be some what sticky.  Form into balls and brown in a small amount of oil.  Drain all but 1 tablespoon oil.  Pour the meatballs and 1 tablespoon oil in a dish and set aside.

Sauce:
1 __ oz can pineapple tidbits, with the juice (the smaller can)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons vinegar
6 tablespoons water
1/2 cup sugar

In a frying pan, mix the above ingredients and heat until it thickens.  I usually mix the water and cornstarch separately and then put it in the frying pan so it doesn't make dumplings!  Put meatballs back in sauce and heat through.  Serve over rice and thoroughly enjoy!
