Polynesian Glazed Meatballs

"This is from the Kraft foods website. It's very easy and tasty! I'm posting here so I can add to my shopping list. I tweaked it just a little bit, so it's not exactly as on the Kraft website. Try using maybe 1/2-3/4 of the pineapple as it can be a little overwhelming. I read that some people substituted chicken instead of the meatballs which I think would taste good, too."

I was looking for a easy recipe that called for frozen meatballs and I'm sure glad I found this one! It was very quick to make. I served mine over an onion and garlic rice pilaf I whipped up, and there were no leftovers. I liked the juice as it soaked into the rice and it was tasty! Didn't use any peppers as I was out, but this was still a hit! I also used hot and spicy bbq sauce, and two dashes of ground cayenne pepper. Thanks so much!

A friend brought this to our party as an appetizer. It was delicious. I loved it! It was served without rice and we ate with toothpicks. I've saved it to my cookbook at make also. I'm going to try it with chicken too.
