Eggroll Meatballs with Sweet & Sour Sauce

I love meatballs, and I love the different sauces that go with the meatballs. When I used to have a meal prep business, meatballs were a very popular menu item. They are a fun way to liven up ground meat and make the perfect meal prep food. This recipe is Whole30 compatible, including the sweet and sour sauce, which is sweetened with pineapple juice.

Instructions
