Frequently Asked Questions

What type of meatballs should I use when making crockpot meatballs?

Any frozen meatball, minus Italian-style, will work for this recipe. The key is to use cocktail-sized meatballs, as the smaller size is best for parties/appetizers.

What type of teriyaki sauce should I use when making these Teriyaki Pineapple Crockpot Meatballs?

I like to use a teriyaki sauce that is thicker, as opposed to a marinade. Doing so will make the sauce thicker. If you have marinade on hand, you could thicken the mixture with a cornstarch slurry (equal parts corn starch and water).
