Ingredients:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 pound lean ground turkey
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, undrained
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 green pepper, diced

Instructions:

For the Meatballs:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, lean ground turkey, milk, finely chopped onions, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and egg until well combined.
2. Shape Meatballs: Shape the mixture into approximately 25 1-inch balls, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
3. Cook Meatballs: Heat an electric skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in the skillet until they are browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 20 minutes. Once browned, remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.

For the Sweet & Sour Sauce:

1. Prepare Sauce Base: In the same skillet used for cooking the meatballs, mix together the brown sugar and cornstarch until evenly combined.
2. Add Pineapple Mixture: Stir in the pineapple chunks with their syrup, along with the vinegar and soy sauce, creating a flavorful base for the sauce.
3. Simmer Sauce: Heat the mixture until it reaches a boil, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
4. Incorporate Meatballs: Add the cooked meatballs back into the skillet, ensuring they are coated evenly with the sweet and sour sauce.
5. Simmer Together: Cover the skillet and allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even coating.
6. Add Green Pepper: After 10 minutes, stir in the diced green pepper, allowing it to simmer along with the meatballs for an additional 5 minutes or until the pepper is crisp-tender and infused with the flavors of the sauce.
7. Serve: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the Sweet & Sour Cocktail Meatballs to a serving dish and garnish with toothpicks for easy serving and enjoyment.
