Frozen meatballs are simmered in sauce that’s a fusion of teriyaki and barbecue with a little kick from Tajín seasoning and sweetness from Del Monte Mango and Pineapple. Keep warm in a slow cooker up to 2 hours for easy, help yourself game day snacking.
1 tub (52 oz.) Del Monte® Mango and Pineapple in Extra Light Syrup
3/4 cup prepared teriyaki sauce
1 can (8 oz.) Del Monte® Tomato Sauce

Drain mango and pineapple, reserving the syrup for another use (see Tip). Blend 1 1/4 cups mango and pineapple chunks, teriyaki sauce, tomato sauce, water, vinegar and Tajín until smooth. Pour into a large (3-qt.) saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir in frozen meatballs and return to a simmer. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Stir in remaining mango and pineapple chunks. Serve immediately or transfer to a slow cooker to keep warm (see Tip). Garnish as desired.
