Julie's September Meal: Maui Meatballs

1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
2/3c quick rolled oats
1/3 c finely chopped onion (I use dried food storage kind)
1 egg, lightly beaten (I sometimes use 2 if it is not sticking together)
Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:

2TBSP cornstarch
1/2c firmly packed Brown Sugar
1 can pineapple chunks, drain and reserve juice
1/3c vinegar
1TBSP soy sauce
1/3 cup chopped green pepper

Mix beef, oats, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Shape into walnut-sized balls.  Place on broiler tray and bake at 350 until cooked through (about 15 minutes).

Mix cornstarch and sugar in skillet or pot.  Stir in reserved pineapple syrup, vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth.  Cook over medium heat stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Add green pepper and simmer till tender. If too thick add more pineapple juice or water.  Add meatballs, pineapple,and serve over rice or egg noodles. 

If Freezing
Assemble meatballs and flash freeze on cookie sheet.  When frozen put in freezer bag.  Thaw before use and cook as explained above.  Freeze sauce in individual bag.
