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.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

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.

teriyaki-meatballs-ingredients

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.

    Hi,

    Could you make these in advance, you think? Would you pre-cook them and freeze?

    Thanks

    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.

      You can just use all beef if you’d like Ana – no biggie 🙂

      I would say 5 to 6 meatballs would be a dinner serving size. Hope that helps!

    Hi Trish
    Can you tell me where you got the bamboo serving sticks?
    I’ve been in search for this shape.
    Thank you!

    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?

    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?

      Oooh! That’s a tough one Margaret! I would maybe do a google search on that because I really don’t know. Sorry!
