Notes
- Buy frozen meatballs or make homemade meatballs. Just be sure to start with them frozen.
- This recipe works with beef, chicken, pork, or turkey meatballs.
- Add pineapple chunks and slices of bell peppers for more sweetness and color.
- Use canned pineapple if adding chunks or juice to the sour pineapple sauce.
- Don't use fresh pineapple. The acidity makes the sauce foamy and the pineapple is too tough.
