Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground meat (beef, pork, or turkey)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, and chopped onion. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Place the meatballs in a baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the glaze.
  6. Pour the glaze over the meatballs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and slightly thickened.
  8. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

  • You can use pre-made teriyaki sauce or make your own.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar to the glaze.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
  • These meatballs can be made ahead of time and reheated.
