Famous Meatballs

Famous Meatballs

These pineapple meatballs are a favorite for any occasion. I made 14 pounds of meatballs for my sister’s graduation party, and I only had 1 medium container left. My mother made sloppy joes, and needless to say, they had a lot of leftovers because everyone loved these meatballs. Guaranteed favorite!
