It&#8217;s a nice thick, tasty syrup. I served the pineapple and bell pepper unheated on the dishes. I didn&#8217;t want the bell pepper and pineablle to get soggy in the syrup while we were waiting to eat the leftovers. Because I made the syrup first, I didn&#8217;t need to keep the meatballs warm in the oven. I&#8217;ve grown spoiled with Hello Fresh recipes and lose patience for recipes that don&#8217;t give you oven temperature, oven rack positions or time it takes cooking. Like I never made meatballs before. How long should it take for them to get done?<\/p>\n<p>This was complicated by the fact that I was using fake meat and without Hello Fresh telling me it should take x to x amount of minutes, I never trust my own judgement. And then add to that, the fact that I didn&#8217;t pack the meatballs tight enough and the first batch fell apart in the skillet. I had to call in Mr. Cher Scholar to squish them tighter and help finish the next two batches.<\/p>\n<p>My poorly packed meatballs:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182635-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182635.jpg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182635-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182635-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182635-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182635-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182635-scaled.jpg?w=1352&amp;ssl=1 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cher Scholar&#8217;s better meatballs:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182637-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7152\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182637.jpg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182637-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182637-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182637-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182637-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240825_182637-scaled.jpg?w=1352&amp;ssl=1 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I should have read the blogger Yinzerella&#8217;s piece before I started cooking because they wisely cut the recipe in half for two people. This recipe makes a lot of meatballs. I would estimate about two dozen meatballs, two dinners worth of meatballs unless you&#8217;re feeding a family or party of meatball eaters.<\/p>\n<p>To accompany her meatballs, Yinzerella made fried rice. I made another bad decision to make mushroom risotto. I love risotto but it&#8217;s labor intensive. Not a good side for another labor intensive main dish.<\/p>\n<p>But the risotto turned out great.
