Super Bowl Saucy Asian Meatballs


I love the website for Taste of Home and their magazine. I can become a hoarder of those magazines, real quick LOL

Surfing their website this morning for healthy recipes to make for game day, I ran across this recipe and thought I would share. Who doesn't like saucy meatballs? I'm sure not many.

Ingredients
