It’s no secret that Ben and I like to entertain. In fact, we’re currently turning our back yard into an oasis for entertaining our family and friends. We have big plans that include a little slice of the beach, plenty of seating for everyone and of course the ultimate grilling space. While we’re always looking for an excuse to have family and friends over, football season offers the prime opportunity.
Last year, we attended our fair share of Sunday Fundays while watching our boys, the Seattle Seahawks take down their opponents, which gave me plenty of opportunity to get into the kitchen to create a few delicious game day recipes. Now that the season is back, I’m in the kitchen again whipping up some scrumptious new delights. If you’ve been around the blog any length of time, you’ll notice that I love to give recipes a unique Asian spin and the more spice in my dish the better. I may even be known to carry around my own varieties of hot sauce when I travel…
So it’s only natural that I would come up with this Spicy Asian Meatballs and Rice Recipe for a quick, easy and TASTY game day appetizer. What’s unique about this recipe is how quickly it comes together thanks to ingredients like al fresco Chicken Meatballs and Minute Rice. The spicy peanut sauce is made from scratch and gives just the right kick of spice, savory and sweet.
The al fresco Chicken Meatballs come in three flavors and are precooked which really cuts down on prep time. They also boast 60% less fat than leading beef meatballs, plus they’re all natural, and gluten free. Just don’t tell Ben they’re healthier than his usual! If you’ve ever cooked with Minute Rice then you know how quickly that cooks up too. In fact, both ingredients cook up in about the same amount of time once you have the oven preheated.

Great idea for an appetizer! I share your love for spicy food too! I have to give this recipe a try. Maybe I can make it as a main dish instead of an appetizer. The meatballs look so yummy I can eat a lot of them!
I don’t eat meat, but this looks and sounds delicious, nonetheless! I know that my family would enjoy it.
