This Slow Cooker Pineapple BBQ Meatballs recipe is a favorite in our home. My wife makes this almost every week. I'm not kidding.
I guess it's because she does not want to spend a lot of time cooking (even though my father-in-law now cooks for the family everyday) especially during the weekends or she wants us to eat our favorite food.
