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.
