For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar in the glaze. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can strain the teriyaki glaze after it has thickened to remove the pineapple chunks. These meatballs can be made ahead of time. Simply bake the meatballs, then store them in the refrigerator until ready to use. Reheat in the teriyaki glaze just before serving. Spice it up by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the teriyaki glaze.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, minced garlic, and egg whites until just mixed. Overmixing can result in tough meatballs. (5 minutes)
03
Step
25 mins
Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into 1-ounce meatballs. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball registers at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). (25 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the teriyaki glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine the undrained crushed pineapple, ½ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, garlic salt, and black pepper. (3 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently. (5 minutes)
07
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth. This slurry will thicken the sauce. (2 minutes)
08
StepSlowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly. Continue to simmer and stir until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 3 to 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
09
StepOnce the meatballs are cooked through, add them to the saucepan with the teriyaki glaze. Gently stir to coat the meatballs evenly. (2 minutes)
10
StepContinue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the meatballs to heat through and absorb the flavors of the teriyaki glaze. (5 minutes)
