Important Recipe Notes
- Use frozen meatballs: No need to thaw the meatballs first. Add them straight to the crockpot for an easier prep.
- Separate the pineapple juice: Save the juice from the can to mix into the sweet and sour sauce.
- Stir halfway through: Give the meatballs a gentle stir after about 1 hour so they are evenly coated with the sauce.
- If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a little more brown sugar. For more tang, add a small amount of ketchup or pineapple juice.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, switch the crockpot to the warm setting so they stay ready for guests.
- You can prepare these before a party and keep them warm in the slow cooker until you are ready to serve.
