Ingredients:

• 32 ounces of frozen meatballs
• 18 ounces of barbecue sauce
• 20 ounces can of pineapple chunks (with juice)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 sweet onion, cut into chunks
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Slow Cooker: Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
2. Combine the Ingredients: Place the frozen meatballs, barbecue sauce, pineapple chunks (including the juice), minced garlic, onion chunks, and red bell pepper chunks into the slow cooker. Gently stir to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the barbecue sauce.
3. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. The slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a rich, deep taste profile.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is beautifully cooked and the meatballs are tender, serve hot. This dish is perfect as a standalone or paired wonderfully with sides like cooked rice or creamy mashed potatoes.
