Waikiki Meatballs

I loved this dinner!

1 ½ lbs ground beef
2/3 cup cornbread crumbs or GF oatmeal (i made cornbread crumbs from my cornbread muffins, crumbled it and broiled them stirring about every 4-5 minutes until crisp.  I had extra and froze them.)
1/3 cup minced onion
1 egg
1 ½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ginger
¼ cup milk
1 Tbsp. oil
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 can pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve juice) I like chunks instead
1/3 cup vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper (I used canned chilies because I didn't have a pepper)
Cooked white rice

Mix meat, crumbs, onion, egg, salt, ginger and milk.  Shape into little balls.  Heat oil in saucepan; brown and cook meatballs; remove and keep warm.  Drain liquid from skillet.  Mix cornstarch and sugar.  Stir in pineapple juice, vinegar and soy sauce until smooth.  Pour into skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils.  Boil and stir 1 minute.  Add meatballs, pineapple and green peppers.  Heat through.  Serve over rice.
