Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, add egg and gently whisk. Add all remaining meatball ingredients and mix until well combined. Roll meat mixture into approximate 1 inch balls. Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
-
Meanwhile, strain the pineapple juice from chunks and add water to equal 2 cups juice/water. Set the pineapple chunks aside.
-
Add the water/juice plus all remaining Hawaiian sauce ingredients to a medium saucepan and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, stirring constantly.
-
Add the meatballs to your slow cooker, followed by the pineapple and red and green bell peppers. Pour the Hawaiian sauce over everything.
-
Cover and cook on LOW heat for 2 hours or until meatballs are cooked through, gently stirring an hour after cooking. Keep warm until serving. Serve over rice (or serve as cocktail meatballs).
