Waikiki Meatballs
Here's one from my friend, Stephanie. She originally posted it on her blog, here. My husband and kids love it.
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2/3 c saltine crackers, crushed
1/3 c minced onion
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 c milk
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 c brown sugar
1 can (13.5 oz) chunk pineapple, reserve juice
1/3 c vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 chopped bell pepper (I've never used this)
cooked rice
chow mein noodles
Mix meat, crumbs, onion, egg, salt, ginger and milk in a large bowl. Shape into balls. Place on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
(I don't like to touch raw meat, so I put a piece of tinfoil on a cookie sheet, then dump the meat mixture onto it. Using a spoon or spatula, I spread the meat mixture into a square, making sure it is even all the way across. Then, take a knife and score the meat into 1 inch squares - don't cut all the way through. Cook the meat at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Then, cut the meatballs apart and you're ready to go.)
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cornstarch and sugar. Stir in reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir until smooth. Pour into a large skillet that has been warmed on medium heat. Stir constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir for one minute. Add meatballs, pineapple, and bell pepper. Heat through, for about 2-3 minutes. Serve over rice with Chow Mein noodles.

Taco Salad
Okay so this may be totally lame, but we had it last night and it tasted really good to me. I like it because it is easy and so versatile, I think I find a new ingredient to add every time we have it. And I usually have leftover hamburger so we have burritos or some easy leftover the next night.
1 lb. hamburger
taco seasoning (add as little or as much as you like)
1 head lettuce
1 can black or pinto bean
corn chips (you could also use Fritos or Doritos)
cheese
ranch dressing
other toppings we like: tomatoes, onions, corn, salsa
cook hamburger & add in taco seasoning
drain beans and warm in pan
layer as follows: chips (crush first), lettuce, hamburger, beans, cheese, other toppings of your choice then top off with dressing Enjoy!
-Growing up we used Dorito chips and Catalina dressing which is a really good combination as well.
