Cantonese Pineapple Meatballs

Scotty B Cooks Presents:  Cantonese Pinapple Meatballs

 



OK this is my version of the Cantonese Pineapple Meatballs.  I like a little heat so I have crushed red pepper in mine but you can skip that if you don't like the heat.  Been a little under the weather and I have a scorching case of cabin fever.  I still can't get out of the house because I don't want a relapse of this crud so I opened up some windows, and decided to cook something.

I figured if I stir around some that may help me release some pent up energy.  Plus, I'm preparing myself for the Dallas Cowboys to be beat by the Redskins and break my heart like they have been doing for years under the misguided, no talent seeing eyes of Jerry and Stephen Jones! 

Ok I digress!  Here we go, here is my Cantonese Pineapple Meatballs Recipe!

I just use 1 bag of pre-made meatballs - frozen.  Yea, I'm being lazy today.

Brown the meatballs in a skillet.  Once they are brown, remove from skillet and pour the cantonese mixture into the skillet and stir until it starts to bubble.  Add the water / cornstarch mixture and stir well for about 2 minutes. Add the pineapples. Add the meatballs back into the mixture.  Cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
