I’ve always been a teriyaki sauce lover. Any kind of teriyaki marinaded meat, a couple slices of fresh pineapple, and a drink with a little umbrella is all I need to get my hula on. So when I saw Erika’s recipe for Pineapple Jalapeno Teriyaki Turkey burgers, I knew I had found my recipe for this months Secret Recipe Cub reveal.

Except…

I was going to use beef instead of turkey,

skip the jalapenos,

and add some green onions and parsley.

Oh yea…

and I made meatballs!

I actually made this recipe  a couple of  different ways. I tried it as a meatloaf, and as meatballs in the crockpot. But it was the baked meatballs that made such a big  splash around here!

They were a spicy little teriyaki meatball, bursting with a fresh pineapple flavor. The only thing I was missing was my drink with the cute little umbrella!
