Hawaiian Meatballs

Ingredients
Meatballs
 2 pounds extra lean ground beef
 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
 2 large eggs
 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
 1 teaspoon garlic powder
 1 teaspoon onion powder
 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Sauce
 1 cup pineapple juice
 1/2 cup brown sugar
 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
 1/4 cup soy sauce
 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Kabobs
 1 green bell pepper
 1 red bell pepper
 1 small red onion
 1/2 fresh pineapple

Instructions
 Cut the pineapple, bell peppers, and onion into 1 1/2 - 2 inch pieces.
 In a large mixing bowl, combine the Ground Beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy
sauce, and spices. Mix well.
 Use your hands to form meatballs, using about 3 Tablespoons of the mixture at a
time.
 Make the kabobs by alternating meatballs, peppers, onions, and pineapple on
wooden or metal skewers.
 Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill over medium heat with
the lid down for a total of 15 minutes, turning at least once.
 While kabobs are grilling, combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan
and whisk well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and stir until
thickened (about 2 minutes).
 Brush sauce generously over kabobs; remove from grill.
 Serve with remaining sauce for dipping.

 Use any of your favorite vegetables, like zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots,
or potatoes (par-cook carrots and potatoes to soften)
 Substitute fresh grated ginger for the dried ginger
 Substitute dried onion for the onion powder
 Add 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire to the sauce for a more savory flavor
 Grill the meatballs separately (omit the pineapple, peppers, and onion)
 Bake the meatballs in the oven (400° for 15 minutes)
