Meatballs are a favorite of mine. I love serving them for dinner or at a party. Either way everyone loved them. Last week I served these for dinner with rice and steamed veggies. My kids loved them.

Three weeks before we brought them to a party and the guests loved them. No matter how you decided to serve them you will love them.

Hawaiian Meatballs are a great dinner.

This meal is also called Hawaiian Meatballs. I love this meals served on top of a bed of rice or with my Easy Fried Rice or my Cilantro Lime Brown Rice.

While meatballs are easy to make, they definitely need to be served with something else to complete the meal.

Can I make these on the stove top?

If you don’t want to wait for the slow cooker you can easily make these meatballs on the stove top.

Prepare your meatballs according to the package directions.

Place pineapple chunks with juice, BBQ sauce, and brown sugar in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and whisk well until sugar is dissolved.

Remove from heat then pour over meatballs and toss to coat.

Why these Pineapple BBQ Meatballs are so great!

  1. They are super easy to make! Throw your ingredients into the slow cooker and let it do the work for you. Prepare the rest of your dinner while these cook!
  2. They are full of flavor! The sweetness of the pineapple and the brown sugar with the tanginess of the BBQ sauce gives these meatballs are great taste.
