This one is one of my favorite recipes, one because it tastes so good, the other reason is because it is one of the easiest meals to freeze so I can throw in the crock-pot on a day when I have no time for dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 2 gloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond meal/flour
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Mix together all ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
- Roll into small balls and place on a broiler pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce and honey in a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Mix together the water and the arrowroot powder in a separate bowl.
- Slowly add to the saucepan constantly stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Pour the sauce over the meatballs and serve.
I love to turn this into a stir-fry by cutting up some peppers and pineapple and serving it over wild rice or broccoli slaw. Yum!
If you are looking for a good crock pot freezer meal, this is perfect! You can put the sauce in ice cube trays and freeze, the seal up the frozen sauce cubes and meatballs in a freezer bag. When you are ready to cook, just put the contents of the bag in the crock pot with 1 cup of water and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
Enjoy!
