Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound frozen fully cooked beef and pork meatballs, such as Casa de Bertacchi™ Homestyle Meatballs
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ketchup

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup water

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Arrange meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet.
