Hawaiian Meatballs

For the meatballs:

2 lbs. beef

1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs

1 egg

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. fresh ginger

salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce:

20 oz. can pinapple tidbits with juice

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup gluten free soy sauce

1/4 cup vinegar

2 tbsp. cornstarch

Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together in a bowl by hand. Form the meat into 1 inch balls. Brown them in a skillet. Remove and set aside once they are all seared.

In the same pan add in the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar. Mix 2 tbsp. of cornstarch with a splash of water to make a corn starch slurry. Add it to the sauce and let it simmer until thickened.

Add the thickened sauce to a crockpot. Add in the meatballs and coat them with the sauce. Allow them to cook on low for 2-3 hours. Enjoy!
