Notes
The number of meatballs you use will depend on their size. If they are smaller, you will have more than 16. You can purchase your favorite meatballs in the freezer section or you can make your own homemade version using this recipe. If you are going to be cooking the teriyaki meatballs for the longer cooking time, increase the water to 3/4 cup to ensure they don't dry out or burn.
