fresh chivesfinely minced; optional for garnishing
Instructions
To a large bowl, add the Hawaiian BBQ Sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and stir to combine; set aside.
To a 7-quart slow cooker (or similar sized such as 6 to 8 quarts) add the meatballs* and drained pineapple chunks (discard the liquid or save the juice for another use), add the bbq sauce mixture, and stir to evenly coat.
Cover the slow cooker and cook for 2 to 3 hours on HIGH. Or 5 to 6 hours on LOW**.
Optionally garnish with chives and serve. Meatballs are best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
*I don’t thaw the meatballs ahead of time, although you could if you are planning ahead.Keep in mind that if you set them out to thaw for a bit before adding them to the slow cooker, you’ll likely be able to shave off some of the cooking time estimates I provided.**The longer you cook them, the thicker and more concentrated the flavor of the sauce will be. All slow cookers cook differently based on the brand, size, and so forth, so just keep an eye on them.***Note that nutritional info provided is a courtesy only. However, since it's unlikely that every last drop of sauce mixture will be consumed nor is the pineapple juice consumed, the stats are lower than provided but the computer-generated program takes into account everything.
