How to Make Tangy Pineapple Meatballs in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
When I say these Tangy Pineapple Crock Pot Meatballs were loved in my house, I mean that they were absolutely devoured. Everyone gobbled them right up. They are that good. While we had them for dinner by serving them over rice, they are also amazing on their own as an appetizer.
When I went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for this recipe, the sizes of ingredients available were different from what is used in the original recipe. So, I gave it a go with what I had available. Even though the amounts were different for the ingredients, the result was still a crock pot full of incredible meatballs.
