Cup of Yum
Stovetop Instructions:
- Add meatballs, pineapple and bbq sauce to a large pot and stir to coat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low simmer.
- Cover and cook for about 10 minutes for thawed meatballs, or 15+ minutes for frozen meatballs, or until warmed through.
Notes
- Meatballs: Homemade frozen meatballs will taste best, or our favorite frozen store-bought meatballs are Costco's Kirkland brand Italian meatballs. If meatballs are thawed, reduce cook time.
- Stovetop Method: Add meatballs, pineapple and bbq sauce to a large pot and stir to coat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low simmer. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes for thawed meatballs, or 15+ minutes for frozen meatballs, or until warmed through.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
