Slow Cooker Pineapple Barbecue Meatballs
Slow Cooker Pineapple Barbecue Meatballs are a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors with tender meatballs simmered in a mouthwatering pineapple barbecue sauce. Perfect for parties as an appetizer or for family dinners as a main dish.
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen meatballs 32 oz
- 1 can pineapple chunks 20 oz, drained
- 1 bottle barbecue sauce 18 oz
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
- 1 tablespoon water optional, for thickening
Instructions
- Plug in your slow cooker and set it to low heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Place the frozen meatballs and drained pineapple chunks into the slow cooker.
- Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the meatballs and pineapple, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, or until the meatballs are heated through and the flavors are well combined.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. About 30 minutes before serving, stir the slurry into the slow cooker and let it cook for the remaining time.
- Once the meatballs are cooked and the sauce is to your desired consistency, stir well and serve hot.
