Total Time 1 hours 45 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours 35 minutes

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar 
1/4 cup ketchup 
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce 
2 1/4 cups pineapple juice 
1 tablespoon cornstarch 
One 25-count bag All-Purpose Meatballs (still frozen is fine), recipe follows
1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce 
1 cup drained small pineapple chunks
Steamed long-grain rice, for serving 
2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish 
5 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs 
1/2 cup milk 
1/4 cup heavy cream 
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 
2 tablespoons grainy mustard 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 
4 large eggs 
2 tablespoons olive oil 

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and 2 cups of the pineapple juice. Bring to a boil.
  • Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch into the remaining 1/4 cup pineapple juice, whisking to get out all the lumps. Whisk the slurry into the skillet and add the All-Purpose Meatballs. Bring to a simmer and add the sriracha. Cover and cook until the sauce is thickened and the meatballs are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the pineapple chunks.
  • Serve over steamed rice, garnished with green onions.
  • To make the meatballs, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, cream, parsley, mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix together well with your hands. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the meatballs onto parchment-lined baking sheets and put the baking sheets in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes for the meatballs to firm up.
  • To brown the meatballs, heat the olive oil in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, turning the meatballs to make sure they brown all over, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
  • Freezer instructions: Put the cooked meatballs in a single layer on baking sheets and put into the freezer. When frozen, divide them into freezer bags, 25 per bag, and return them to the freezer. Yield: 125 meatballs.
