Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
¼ cup bread crumbs
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 large egg whites
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup cold water

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and egg whites for meatballs together in a bowl until well combined. Form into 1-ounce balls. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
Meanwhile prepare sauce: Combine pineapple, soy sauce, brown sugar, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Mix cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; add to the sauce. Stir and simmer until desired thickness, 3 to 5 minutes. Add meatballs and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
