Step 1
Pour the pineapple chunks along with their juice into a saucepan. Add the chopped green bell pepper, brown sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Give everything a good stir until the sugar and cornstarch have completely dissolved.
Step 2
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep stirring occasionally as it cooks for about 10 minutes, until it thickens nicely.
Step 3
While the sauce is cooking, arrange the meatballs in your slow cooker. Once the sauce is ready, pour it over the meatballs, making sure they’re well coated.
Step 4
Set the slow cooker to medium and let it cook for around two hours. Be sure to give everything a gentle stir every half hour so the flavors meld together and nothing sticks.
Best Ways To Serve
Serve these meatballs over spaghetti with marinara sauce for a classic meal. They also work great as a hearty sandwich filling or paired with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a cozy dinner.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months. Reheat gently to keep them moist.
