Equipment

Sheet Pan
Large bowl
spatula

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound Lean Ground Beef
1 Egg
1/4 Cup Panko Bread crumbs
2 tablespoons Ketchup
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
2 Cups Cooked Brown Rice
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds to garnish
2 tablespoons Sliced Green Onions to garnish

For the sauce:

1/4 Cup Sriracha
2 tablespoons Reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tablespoons Honey
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger Grated
1 Garlic Clove minced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 pound Lean Ground Beef, 1/4 Cup Panko Bread crumbs, 1 Egg, 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1 teaspoon Onion Powder, 2 tablespoons Ketchup, Sea salt and pepper, to taste, until well combined.
Take a spoonful of mixture and shape it between your hands into a 1 and 1⁄2-inch meatball, then place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until meatballs are browned and cooked through.
Meanwhile, place all the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan ( 1/4 Cup Sriracha, 2 tablespoons Reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 tablespoons Honey, 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, and 1 Garlic Cloves) and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking continuously. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until it is reduced and thick.
Once cooked, remove meatballs from the oven and pour over the sauce. Toss to coat.
To assemble the meal prep bowls, divide the 2 Cups Cooked Brown Rice among 4 containers. Top with glazed meatballs, and garnish with 2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds and 2 tablespoons Sliced Green Onions.
Refrigerate for up to 5 days and reheat just before serving. Enjoy!
