What are the best meatballs to use?
TO keep things super easy, I used frozen meatballs but you can use homemade too. Because the sauce has a sweetness to it, I would go for plain meatballs, nothing overly seasoned.
Storing cooked meatballs
Leftover meatballs should be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Nutrition Information
We don’t really like ketchup, so we tweaked the recipe by using BBQ sauce instead. We put them on a bed of teriyaki rice and it was DELICIOUS. We are definitely adding this to our list of favorites!
