AWESOME!!! Wouldn't change a thing... loved the dipping sauce, also served with general tso and sweet and sour sauce as I doubled the recipe and took to a party, lots of requests for the recipe. Thanks for sharing!!!!

We liked the meatballs as a main dish, served over rice. Didn't do the wasabi dip, but found that a little extra soy sauce over the meatballs and rice was just the right touch.

We found that the sesame seeds didn't stick after the meatballs were cooked. Perhaps they would stick if they were sprinkled on before or half-way through baking.

I LOVE these! But I don't like wasabi so i used this dipping sauce instead: 1/2 c hoisin sauce, 1/4 c mayo, 2 1/2 T lime juice

I made a double batch of these for a Christmas party and they all went. My teens loved them too. I mixed ground pork and beef with the sausage. I will omit the dipping sauce next time and go with a soy sauce based dipping sauce instead.

Made a double batch for a party and nothing left! Plus everyone asked for the recipe. Huge hit, I did mix well in a stand mixer, not just crumble to combine and they had a very nice smooth texture.

Oh my goodness!!! These were great. I mixed 1/2 # hamburger and 1/2 # sausage.
