Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place ground beef, egg, cornstarch, salt, Worcestershire sauce, diced onion and black pepper in medium mixing bowl. Mix with clean hands or wooden spoon until well incorporated. Form into about 20 1-inch meatballs. Place meatballs in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until done. Set aside.

To make sauce, mix enough water with reserved pineapple juice to make 1 cup. In large saucepan over medium heat, combine juice mixture, an additional 1/3 cup water, vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar. Stir in cornstarch, ginger and seasoning salt and whisk until smooth. Cover and cook until thickened. Stir pineapple chunks, carrot, green pepper, onion and meatballs into the sauce. Gently stir to coat the meatballs with sauce. Simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until meatballs are thoroughly cooked. Serve over white rice.
