- Add a little olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and peppers and sauté them until they’re crisp tender. Add the pineapple and meatballs to the skillet and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the sweet and sour sauce and stir everything together until coated. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens and everything is warmed through.
