How to Make Hawaiian Meatball Subs in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

This Hawaiian Crock Pot Meatball Subs recipe is so yummy! Cris made some Crock Pot Hawaiian Sandwiches a while back. When I saw the recipe recently, my first thought was meatballs! I am not always a fan of tangy recipes. However, this recipe has the perfect amount of tang! Yum!

I absolutely love the versatility of this recipe! These meatballs would be delicious as an appetizer. You could also serve these up over egg noodles, pasta or rice. Then, of course, there is the option that we went with in our house this time (I say this time because we will definitely be trying this again with different variations!) where you serve them up on a delicious hoagie or sub bun! Regardless of how you decide to serve them, you are going to love these delicious meatballs!

What You Will Need

Ingredients Needed

• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 15 1/4 oz can pineapple slices, drained
• Optional: Hoagie buns, noodles, pasta or rice for serving

Equipment Needed

• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Can opener
• Can strainer
• Medium bowl
• Stirring spatula
• 4 quart slow cooker

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cooking Time: 3 to 4 hours on low or 1.5 to 2 hours on high, stirring occasionally
