Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs and Sauce

  • 26 ounces frozen cooked meatballs (1 (52-count) bag)
  • 21 ounces teriyaki sauce (1 bottle)
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce

Fruit

  • 20 ounces canned pineapple tidbits, drained (1 large can)

Garnish (Optional)

  • Sliced green onions

Instructions
