These 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pineapple Teriyaki Meatballs are an effortless and flavorful appetizer or dinner. Sweet and tangy pineapple pairs perfectly with savory teriyaki sauce and juicy meatballs, all slow-cooked to tender perfection.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 35 minutes
  • Yield: 60 meatballs

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds frozen fully cooked meatballs (beef, turkey, chicken, or plant-based)
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 8 oz pineapple chunks, drained

Instructions

  1. Place frozen meatballs into a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Add teriyaki sauce and drained pineapple chunks.
  3. Stir to evenly coat meatballs with sauce.
  4. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours or on LOW for 6 hours, until heated through and coated in glaze.
  5. Serve warm as an appetizer or over rice for a meal.

Notes

  • Use your favorite teriyaki sauce—thick, glaze-style works best for clinging to the meatballs.
  • Great for parties—keep on the WARM setting for easy serving.
  • Can be made with any variety of fully cooked frozen meatballs.
  • Add chopped bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and texture.
