Assembly Directions:
Meatballs: For each recipe, combine ground beef, oats, diced water chestnuts, onion salt, garlic salt, salt, soy sauce, egg and milk. Shape into 40 balls about 1-1 1/4 inch in diameter. (Use a small cookie scoop to make the job go quicker.) Place the meatballs on a sprayed or foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center. Cool.


Sauce: For each recipe, drain pineapple and reserve juice. Mix brown sugar and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Add drained pineapple juice (about 3/4 C.) bouillon, vinegar and soy sauce. Bring mixture to a boil stirring constantly until it clears and thickens. Remove from heat. Cool. Add chopped green pepper and pineapple.
 
Freezing Directions:

Freeze meatballs in freezer bags or rigid containers. Pour sauce into quart-sized freezer bags. Keep the meatballs and the sauce together!

 

To serve: Thaw and reheat in microwave, on stovetop or in crockpot. Serve as an appetizer or with rice as a main dish.
