Easy, Sweet & Zesty Aloha-style Meatballs

So easy, and so tasty -- the horseradish mustard, pineapple and brown sugar combine beautifully, the cider vinegar adds a sweet 'n sour zest, and the Frank's RedHot finishes it with just the right amount of kick! Meatballs can be added straight from freezer, and most of the other ingredients are probably on hand in the pantry, so it's easy to whip up anytime without a big shopping trip or a lot of pre-planning. And there's only one pan to wash!
