Meatballs with Peppers and Pineapple




This is a new favorite in my house and I'm
sure it will be in yours too. It almost reminds
me of pepper steak. If you don't have
fresh pineapple you can use canned.
Served mine over white rice.

  6. Hey Lisa! Stopping by from the GYB blog hop! I love your blog! My mother in law makes some meatballs with peppers except the sauce is just brown sugar and tomato soup and it is really good! And I am not a fan of mushrooms either but that Chicken Marsala looked REALLY good =)
