Easy Hawaiian Meatballs Recipe

Summer grill season is almost here!! And if you’re like me, you’re brushing off your arsenal of go-to grilling recipes and party-perfect sides. But don’t you ever get sick of the same old thing?? I do! I recently made a fun twist on traditional meatballs, and it would make for the perfect summer BBQ appetizer: My Hawaiian Meatballs Recipe — spoiler alert: it only requires three ingredients!

What you need:

• 1 bottle of Barbecue sauce (I used Sweet Baby Rays 18oz bottle!)
• 1/2 can of crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 bag of meatballs – recipe is for a 24 oz bag, adjust for bigger portions
• salt and pepper, to taste

What you do:

1. Start by adding the BBQ sauce and crushed pineapple to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.
2. Once simmering, add the meatballs. If your meatballs are frozen, stir and cook at a boil for 12-15 minutes, or 8-10 minutes if they are thawed!
3. For a party, serve with toothpicks for easy snacking.
4. For an easy weeknight dinner, serve over rice and enjoy!

These meatballs are best enjoyed warm, so if you are traveling to a party, just pop them in the microwave before serving! Enjoy!
