Don't just consider this for a main meal, but also for an appetizer. A Jamie Purviance recipe for Weber Grill. They're just as good baked or pan fried. Just don't overcook.

I love the sweet and spicy flavors of Chinese food and decided to try to incorporate them into a meatball. The subtle tastes of the meatball blend well with the spicy Sriracha and sweet chili sauce. The garam masala adds a hint of coriander, black pepper and cinnamon for a unique and fun flavor. -Darlene Buerger, Peoria, Arizona
