Fiesta Meatballs image

Everybody loves meatballs and these are a cinch to make. All you need is a jar of salsa for their almost-instant sauce. They are good served over garlic rice (just cook a minced garlic clove or 2 in with standard rice).

Categories     Meatballs

Time 29m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning or 2 tablespoons Tex-Mex seasoning
salt, to taste
1 slice bread
1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 sweet pepper, seeded and cut into strips
3/4 cup salsa (mild or medium)
1/3 cup water
grated cheddar cheese (optional and to taste)
chopped fresh coriander (optional and to taste)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, using a fork, whisk together milk, egg, Tex-Mex seasoning and salt. Tear bread into tiny pieces, dropping them into milk mixture; stir well. Let stand for 5 minutes until mushy. Add meat and coriander. With fork, stir just until blended (do not over mix or meatballs will be tough).
  • Form meat into about forty 1-inch (2.5-cm) meatballs. In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook meatballs, in two batches if necessary, for 7 to 8 minutes, until mostly browned all over.
  • Return all meatballs to skillet. Stir in red pepper, salsa and water. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, stirring once or twice, for 3 to 5 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through.
  • Served topped with the cheese and coriander if desired.

I love that this recipe doesn't call for any breadcrumbs. It makes the meatballs lighter and more moist.

These were the easiest meatballs I've ever made. I just threw all the ingredients in my food processor and pulsed until they were combined.

I made these meatballs in my slow cooker and they turned out so tender and juicy. They were perfect for a party because I could just set them and forget them.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover rice. They're also really versatile - you can serve them with pasta, rice, or even just on their own.

I made these meatballs for my family and they were a huge hit! Even my picky kids loved them.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a different type of chili powder than the recipe called for. Other than that, they were delicious.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It makes the meatballs lighter and healthier, but they're still just as flavorful.
