Orange-Pineapple Appetizer Meatballs

If your family and friends LOVE appetizer meatballs, but you're looking for a change from the ordinary BBQ or Cranberry-Chili Sauce sort; here's a new twist! Recipe makes 12 servings. My suggestion would be to double or triple this recipe for a nice crockpot full.

Orange-Pineapple Appetizer Meatballs

Meatballs:
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1/4 c. quick cooking oats
1/4 c. finely chopped green onions
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. allspice
1/4 t. pepper
1 egg

Sauce:
1 - 8 oz. can pineapple tidbits in unsweetened juice, drained
1/2 c. orange marmalade
1 T. finely chopped green onions
1/8 t. allspice

1. In medium bowl, combine all meatball ingredients; mix well. Shape into about 36 (1 inch) balls.

2. Spray a large nonstick skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add meatballs; cook 8 - 10 minutes or until meatballs are browned, thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center, turning frequently.

3. Stir in all sauce ingredients. Cook over medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring once.
