Step 1
Start by pouring the pineapple chunks along with their juice into a saucepan. Add the chopped green bell pepper, brown sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and lemon juice, then stir everything together until the sugar and cornstarch have completely dissolved. Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, until it thickens up nicely. Meanwhile, place your meatballs in the slow cooker. Once the sauce is ready, pour it over the meatballs. Cook on medium for about 2 hours, giving everything a good stir every 30 minutes to keep the flavors well combined.
