It’s time for another edition of “What Trish made for Chris’ Potluck Friday party!”
Woohoo! Anyone else excited? I figure if I can no longer come up with blog post ideas, at least I’ll have Chris’ potlucks to prepare for, right?
I have to say though, I am a teensy bit jealous that I no longer work in an office environment where I get to participate in potlucks. Aaaand then I look down at my pajama pants, walk over to my Keurig, make myself an iced coffee, and realize, I don’t have it all that bad 🙂 I’ll let Chris handle the office job…for now.
So this last week’s potluck party theme was appetizers. Chris was short on inspiration for this particular theme and so when I suggested these Teriyaki Meatballs he was all on board. They are way to easy to prepare and work perfectly as an appetizer and are delicious served on a bed of rice. Amazing.
There’s not a whole lot of ingredients here and I used a store-bought teriyaki sauce to make things easier  You can make your own or use your favorite brand – your call. I was in one of those ain’t nobody got time for that moods, so went the store-bought route and my sanity thanks me.
You’ll find a lot of the typical meatball ingredients here as well as some with a definite Asian twist like Panko breadcrumbs, water chestnuts, and sesame seeds. I made my meatballs appetizer size but you could make them slightly larger and just add a few minutes to the cooking time.
After the meatballs have baked for a bit, toss them in more Teriyaki sauce and they’re ready to roll, literally. Use some toothpicks to keep them in check if need be. Chris took them to work and stuck toothpicks in all the meatballs so they were easier to grab and go – always nice for your guests.
Whether you’re making them for your next potluck, or serving them to your family, I guarantee these Teriyaki meatballs will be enjoyed by all!

Bertina says
Hi,
Could you make these in advance, you think? Would you pre-cook them and freeze?
Thanks
Marsha Cassidy says
I want to make these meatballs ahead also. Did you get an answer?? Thanks
Alexandra says
Hi Trish, these look delicious! Do you think these could be done in a slow cooker as well?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sure Alexandra! I don’t see why not.
Janice says
I will likely make these but I’m inclined to add fresh grated ginger within the meatballs and also to the teriyaki sauce–because i like ginger and also noticed that many teriyaki recipes use ginger.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I would go for it Janice! That sounds like a great addition 🙂
Julia says
These meatballs look divine!!! I will be making them for my Christmas party this Friday night. Thank you.
neyana says
What kind of teriyaki sauce do you use?
Ana M. says
Sounds ahhhmazingggg however, how can I substitute the ground pork? We don’t eat pork.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
You can just use all beef if you’d like Ana – no biggie 🙂
A breed says
any idea serving size suggestions. Counting calories and would like to know! Thank you!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I would say 5 to 6 meatballs would be a dinner serving size. Hope that helps!
Teresa says
Hi Trish
Can you tell me where you got the bamboo serving sticks?
I’ve been in search for this shape.
Thank you!
Making these meatballs!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I may be wrong but I think I actually got them at Target where the plates, napkins, etc. are at. Hope you can find them!
Jocelyn says
These are terrific! I used ground turkey, with great results. Many thanks!
Lisa says
Just made these ….love them
Lisa I says
These look really good. I’m thinking of making them for my New Years party. Do you think they’ll freeze so I can make them in advance? And if so, do you think I should cook them first and just reheat, or leave the cooking until that night?
marcia says
Just made these for a potluck at work tomorrow. Unfortunately they won’t make it because I am keeping them for home. They are fabulous!
Margaret says
I’ve been craving a new type of meatballs, but I’m allergic to soy. I love the teriyaki flavor! Any ideas for what can I use to substitute for the teriyaki/soy?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oooh! That’s a tough one Margaret! I would maybe do a google search on that because I really don’t know. Sorry!
