Friends, these Hawaiian meatballs are nothing short of delicious! They only take about 30 minutes to put together and are the perfect appetizer for last-minute guests. The brown sugar and honey add a sweet touch to the blend of soy sauce and rice vinegar.  The crushed pineapple adds a fun bit of texture to the juicy meatballs.

While your meatballs are baking you can whip together the sweet sauce and then immediately pour the sauce over the meatballs and serve.

You can also serve this as a meal and pair the meatballs with rice and a side of bread. YUM!
