This Slow Cooker Sweet Hawaiian Teriyaki Meatballs Recipe is super easy to make and really good, they are slightly sweet and tasty. I remember when I first began going to sushi restaurants – I am allergic to shellfish and could only eat things like the Spicy Tuna Roll and chicken teriyaki…I had never even had Chicken Teriyaki until my mid-20s! Now I love the flavor and while this isn’t chicken, it is still a super fun twist on the flavor!

Made for the Super Bowl party they were amazing. Will definitely be making beats again.
I am so glad that you liked them!!
Could I use crushed pineapple instead of the preserves?
Yes, but it will not have the same amount of sweetness.
Can you do this with homemade meatballs instead of those gross frozen ones?
I make most everything from scratch.
Of course!
Can I make this with a pineapple red pepper preserves? That’s all I could find in the store.
You can use a substitution, but it will change the flavor. Let me know how it goes!
