Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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).

Pro Tips for Making Teriyaki Pineapple Crockpot Meatballs
- There is no need to make fresh meatballs for this recipe; use frozen cocktail meatballs!
- Do not drain the pineapple juice from the crushed pineapple -- it adds great sweetness to the meatballs!
- Crockpot meatballs are done when the inside is warm; they are fully-cooked when frozen.
