When you go into a party and see a tiny crockpot on display with a small jar of toothpicks next to it, you know you’re in for a good time. Why? That most certainly means there are saucy little cocktail weenies or meatballs inside, both of which are extremely excellent news. Who can resist the sweet and savory bite-sized morsels? Not me. And not somebody I know. But I have great news for you: you can make an even better cocktail appetizer in your little slow cooker.

It’s this: Meatball Pineapple Smokies! See, it blends cocktail weenies, meatballs, and pineapples. It’s just as simple, as saucy, and offers the best of both worlds.What I like best about this appetizer is that it requires little effort. I know many recipes make the promise, “This takes no work!” but it’s true here. All you’re doing is opening packages and cans and mixing them together. It really doesn’t get easier than that.

And it’s especially amazing when the ultimate result is something so delectable.You might be used to seeing grape jelly in this type of application, but let me tell you, the peach and pineapple go great together.You might be used to seeing grape jelly in this type of application, but let me tell you, the peach and pineapple go great together.
