These Thai Sticky Meatballs are so good that you will want to make them over and over again. It has a perfect balance of flavors including: sweet, savory & a spicy kick. I always know when I make an outstanding dish and “score points” with the hubby because he will say: “is this healthy” He is implying that it is too tasty to be healthy:-) You can still pack a flavorful punch with 93% lean beef. To round out this meal for a complete dinner or lunch, try it with my Asian Cole Slaw with Peanut Cilantro Dressing.
****Tip**** For making ahead……make the meatballs as directed and store in fridge. The day that you want to serve…whip up the Sticky sauce and simmer your meatballs in the sauce as it thickens. For my son whom doesn’t eat spicy food; I took a few meatballs out for him and he ate them with a side of edamame/corn succotash (avail @ Trader Joes) Next time, I will leave out the sriracha and make him a special sticky sauce, separate from our spicy sauce 🙂 Next time, I will also try these with ground turkey to make them even healthier!!
Enjoy these very large meatballs @ 2 meatballs per serving for 7 points!! Complete the meal with Asian Cole slaw for a 9 point meal.
