Mexican Taco Meatballs image

This recipe is wonderful as an appetizer, served with crusty bread, or as a main dish, served in sub rolls and sprinkled with cheese, or you can add a (15 oz.) can of beans and serve as a meatball chili. It is one of my favorite recipes because it is so easy to prepare and so versatile. I often keep this hot in a crockpot to take to pot lucks and a get together with family and friends.

These meatballs were a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have some leftover rice in my fridge, so this is a great way to use it up.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably cut back on the chili powder next time.
