Grandma loves Pineapple!<\/p>\n

This is a true labour of love (although it doesn’t have to be<\/em>).\u00a0 I\u00a0have never handmade meatballs before; and although they taste pretty\u00a0awesome- my busy schedule would rather start this out with\u00a0store-bought meatballs \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"meatballs\"Otherwise – the sauce is incredibly quick & simple.\u00a0 Just dump it all\u00a0in your largest skillet, add the cooked meatballs & let it simmer :). It would also make a good crockpot meatball recipe.<\/p>\n

I made my meatballs out of 1\/2 ground chicken & 1\/2 pork as we aren’t\u00a0a big pork family :).\u00a0 It made about 50 large meatballs.\u00a0 Grandma says\u00a0it serves 6.\u00a0 So about 8-9 meatballs each.\u00a0 Serve with pasta, rice,\u00a0mashed potatoes, and\/or a side salad or veggies!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"meatball_dinner\"So her recipe indicates that the process takes 50 min.\u00a0 She’s right.\u00a0Shorten it to 15 minutes with a package of pre-cooked meatballs.<\/p>\n

And here is her recipe card and the printable recipe!<\/p>\n
