We love meatballs. Well, who doesn't? They are incredible and multi-purpose. Appetizers, snacks, meals. Italian, Mexican, Asian, any flavor you like can inspire a meatball.
This meatball is a family favorite. Well, of course, the recipe that the meatballs were adapted from certainly is.
The meatloaf that inspired this recipe is a family staple. Literally, I would make it every Sunday. Portion it out into 4-ounce portions and Chad would eat it for lunch all week.
He did this for quite some time. He loves it that much. At some point, I informed him we were affecting my creativity by eating the same thing every day.
He was happy to encourage my creativity and try different things for lunch.
So, when we were talking meatballs, we both knew these would be a hit. Awesome for tailgating, appetizers or served alongside your favorite pasta, rice or potato this is a winner. You are going to love it.
