Make sure you make the rice Hawaiian style. Sticky! Also I just make all the meatballs and sauce and put it in a crock pot to keep everything warm while I cook the rice and set the table. I love the texture of the water chestnuts in the meatballs. My sister, Shirley used to love this crazy dish Enjoy!
Crunchy Meatballs over Rice
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 T onion, chopped
Garlic powder to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 C Quick Quaker Oats
1 egg
2 Tbs. soy sauce
1/2 C milk
1 5oz can water chestnuts, chopped
Sauce:
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 c vinegar ( I use rice vinegar)
2 Tbs. cornstarch
2 Tbs. Soy sauce
1 C beef bouillon
1 small can crushed pineapple
Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs and shape into 1" ball. Brown in hot oil or put on a cookie sheet coated with no-stick spray and cook in a 400 degree oven, turning every 5- 10 min. to brown them.
Mix all the ingredients for the sauce and cook until clear.
Add the meatballs to the sauce and serve over hot rice. Serves 6 to 8.
I don't like meatballs but these sound so good I am going to have to try them.
ReplyDeleteCarrie you should try them and make them with the sticky rice the way I had sent you! You can make them half ground Turkey to reduce calories and fat! The boys might like them too!
