Instructions
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).
Notes
This recipe makes plenty of sauce, so be sure to serve with rice.
