Tender Mongolian glazed meatballs are not only filled with an Asian flavor — they are smothered in the best homemade Mongolian sauce to wow your guests! Meatballs aren't just an Italian thing. Or at least they don't need to be. Our buffalo chicken, feta-stuffed, and Dr. Pepper more than prove this. So the idea of Mongolian meatballs shouldn't shock or scare you. You're pretty much guaranteed to like them considering how much you love Mongolian beef (the millions of Mongolian beef video views don't lie).
