Main Ingredients

  • 32 pieces frozen meatballs
  • 20 ounces canned pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 large chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 large chopped orange bell pepper
  • 1 small sliced red onion
  • 1 cup Homemade Teriyaki Sauce or store-bought Use ¼ cup for each packet

Garnishes

  • Chopped green onion For garnish
  • Sesame seeds For garnish
  • Cooked rice Optional for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Cut heavy-duty aluminum foil into 4 large pieces, large enough to wrap around the meatballs and veggies.
  • Divide the frozen meatballs by placing 8 meatballs in the center of each sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Divide the pineapple chunks, chopped red bell pepper, chopped orange bell pepper, and sliced red onion evenly into each packet.
  • Drizzle ¼ cup of the sauce on top of each meatball and veggie mixture.
  • Fold and seal the packets tightly by bringing the two longer sides of the foil together and sealing, then folding in the shorter edges.

Cooking

  • Place the packets onto the hot grill and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are warmed through.
  • Carefully open the packets and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Serve over cooked rice, if desired.

Notes

Make sure the foil packets are sealed tightly to prevent leaks. Experiment with different vegetables, like zucchini or broccoli, for added flavor. Keep extra teriyaki sauce on hand for drizzling over the dish.
