Pineapple Hawaiian Meatballs

Looking for something new to make with all that ground beef?....this is the perfect recipe to try. I am always trying to find new things to do with ground beef and something that my family will enjoy. This dish is easy and goes a long way. If you feel ambitious you could make the meatballs, cook them, and then freeze them to serve on another day. Then when you pull them out, mix up the sauce and serve....for an easy-in a hurry-kind of dinner.
