Slow Cooker Pineapple Barbecue Meatballs 😍😋

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

In a large bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). This flavorful sauce combines the sweetness of pineapple and brown sugar with the savory depth of soy sauce and spices, creating the perfect glaze for the meatballs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

Step 2: Add the Meatballs

Place the frozen meatballs into the slow cooker. There’s no need to thaw them, as they will cook perfectly from frozen in the slow cooker, soaking up all the flavors of the sauce. Spread them out evenly to ensure they cook thoroughly.

Step 3: Pour the Sauce

Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the frozen meatballs, making sure they are well coated. The sauce will gradually thicken as it cooks, giving the meatballs a delicious glaze.
