Pineapple Meatballs

If you love pineapple and you love meatballs, then these pineapple meatballs are for you! With the World Series about to begin, and the amount of gatherings that happen on any given Sunday, this is an appetizer that you are sure to love, along with your guests. It’s not difficult to make and is very versatile. These little meatballs could even be served at a luau. They definitely will be gobbled up almost as soon as they are placed on the table. Well, at our house, they were gobbled up right from the pan.

Pineapple Meatballs

This delicious appetizer can be made the day before and reheated just before serving which makes it easier to get ready for the big game or whatever you have planned. These meatballs have an array of flavors, both sweet and sour, so get ready for a delicious little treat.

I used crushed pineapple in this recipe, but the chunk pineapple is just as tasty. So, give these a try! You will be glad you did.

      Hi Trisha, I haven’t tried this but soy milk or rice milk might work. They are delicious. I hope you are able to make them so your son can enjoy them too!! :)
