Notes
- Store leftover pineapple BBQ meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave, slow cooker, or on the stovetop.
- If the sauce is too thin for you, feel free to stir in a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up. I would do this during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
- Allow the meatballs to cook with minimal disruptions. Stirring too often can break up the meatballs, and opening the lid can lead to uneven cooking.
