Fiesta Meatballs image

Meet the Cook: My rancher husband is crazy about rice, less so about zucchini. But when I serve this flavorful combination, he comes back for more. We put up hay and have cows and calves, which keeps us pretty busy. We are fortunate to have our daughter and son-in-law here to help so we have time for a few hobbies. -Patricia Archie, Glendo, Wyoming

These meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try adding more moisture to the meatballs next time.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of cow's milk. The meatballs still turned out great.

I tried this recipe but I didn't have any chili powder. I used paprika instead and it turned out great.
