In a large bowl, combine your ground meat with seasonings of your choice, mixing until well incorporated. Form the mixture into bite-sized meatballs, ensuring uniform size for even cooking. Aim for about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Once shaped, place them on a large platter while you gather the other ingredients for your Slow Cooker Pineapple Barbecue Meatballs.

Add the formed meatballs to the slow cooker, spreading them evenly. Pour in the pineapple chunks, ensuring they are distributed throughout the meatballs, followed by the pineapple juice and generous drizzles of barbecue sauce. The colorful layers will create a tantalizing base for your cook. Cover the slow cooker with its lid, sealing in all the fabulous flavors.

Set your slow cooker to low heat, allowing the meatballs to cook for 6-8 hours, or to high heat for 3-4 hours. As they simmer, the meatballs will absorb the sweetness from the pineapple and the tangy barbecue sauce, becoming tender and juicy. Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and are beautifully glazed.

If you prefer a thicker sauce for your Slow Cooker Pineapple Barbecue Meatballs, carefully remove the meatballs once cooked. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to your desired consistency. This step intensifies the flavors.

Once everything is cooked to perfection, return the meatballs to the thickened sauce and give them a gentle stir. Serve warm over rice or noodles, or present them as finger foods with toothpicks for dipping. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs for a vibrant touch.
