Two-flavor meatballs with a delicious sweet-sour sauce that is to die for. Serve over rice or have as cocktail meatballs, whichever you prefer.

36 -48 meatballs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

For the Meatballs

1 lb ground chicken
1 lb mild pork sausage
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 large egg, lightly beaten

For the Sauce

1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup plum preserves
1 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
6 ounces pineapple juice
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

1
Thoroughly mix together meatball ingredients and form into meatballs by the tbsp; brown on all sides and cook over medium-low heat until cooked through, 15-20 minutes; remove from heat.
2
Mix together sauce ingredients except cornstarch in a large pan big enough to hold sauce and meatballs (w/lid), cook over low heat until mixture is hot and simmering and mixed through.
3
Mix cornstarch with 5-6 tbsp water to form a slurry and whisk into sauce and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbly; fold meatballs into pan and mix sauce over them.

I made this for my family last night for dinner. We all loved it. I used ground turkey breast and turkey sausage and it was excellent. The only drawback, was that it took longer to prepare than the 40 mins. suggested. Our dinner was later than expected, but still GREAT! Thanks!

Excellent! I found these to be full of rich flavor and very moist & tender. The sauce is very tangy - I might cut down the amount of vinegar next time for personal preference, however it was still wonderful as is. The ginger flavor really came through nicely and blended well with the other ingredients. The meatballs were very attractive with the tiny bits of red bell pepper flecks. Very easy to prepare. Note: I did have to brown my meatballs in two batches to fit them in without crowding, which added some extra cooking time.I made 48 small meatballs.

My intention was to serve this over noodles - but these little things turned out so delicous, we just ate them with toothpicks! The sauce is sweet but also tangy. These are great!
