Directions

  1. Mix grated ginger into ground beef and form into meatballs.

  2. Cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add pineapple chunks, onion, and bell pepper. Continue to cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the centers and vegetables are hot but not soft, 4 to 6 minutes more.

  3. Pour reserved pineapple juice into a large measuring cup. Add enough canned pineapple juice to measure 1 1/2 cups. Bring to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add cornstarch, 1 teaspoon at a time, to ensure it doesn't thicken too much. Cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. Pour pineapple sauce over the meatballs.
