Hawaiian Meatballs & Coconut Rice

Bryan and I had this over the weekend for the first time and it was so good. Part of the recipe comes from sixsistersstuff.com

CROCK POT

Ingredients:
Ground Beef
13.5 oz Pineapple chunks with pure pineapple juice ( I love pineapple so I get a bigger size)
1 Large Green Bell Pepper
1/2 Onion
1 Cup Brown Sugar (tightly packed)
2 Tablespoons cornstarch (mixed with water... takes the lumps out) (I ended up added probably 6-8 Tablespoons because we like our sauce thick...so I'd play with it until you like the consistency)
2/3 Cup White Vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce... but we dont eat soy so I used Worcestershire Sauce

I made Meatballs... Just regular seasonings (Salt, Pepper) Boiled them
Put Meatballs in the bottom of the crock pot and then add sliced green bell peppers and diced onions. Drain the Pineapple chunks from the juice but save the juice! Then put the Pineapple chunks on top of the onions.
Make the sauce:
Mix together the pineapple juice with brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix your cornstarch and water together and add to mixture until desired thickness.  Mix well and pour pineapple mixture over ingredients in crock pot.
Since everything is already cooked I put it on low for an hour. I think once or twice I stirred it carefully.

Coconut Rice
This is so good with the hawaiian theme :) yum

Ingredients:
2 Cups Jasmine Rice (This is what we eat... so I've only made it with this type of rice)
1 1/2 Cups Water
1 Cup Coconut Milk (canned)
1 Teaspoon Salt

Directions:
Add all ingredients into a stove top pan and bring to boil. Once boiling reduce heat to lowest possible and cover with a lid. Cook 15 minutes. Once done move from heat and fluff with a fork and then serve.

Enjoy!
