Ingredients

– ½ cup teriyaki sauce
– ¼ cup diced green bell pepper
– ¼ cup green onions (chopped for garnish)


Instructions

Making Hawaiian Meatballs with Pineapple Glaze is straightforward. Follow these steps to create your delicious dish:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, half of the crushed pineapple (set aside the other half for the glaze), and diced green bell pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake Meatballs: Place the meatballs in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
5. Prepare Pineapple Glaze: While the meatballs are baking, mix the remaining crushed pineapple with teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir for about 5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
6. Glaze Meatballs: Once the meatballs are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and drizzle the pineapple glaze evenly over them.
7. Bake Again: Return the glazed meatballs to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
8. Garnish: Remove the meatballs from the oven once again. Top with chopped green onions for an added burst of flavor.
9. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors.
