Drunken Chipotle Meatballs image

This a great main dish which I did. It is a little spicy and the whiskey gives it a great taste and makes the meat balls very juicy. (Use your favorite whiskey; my fave, McALBERT, is a Dominican whiskey!)

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover ground beef. They're also a great freezer meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use less chipotle pepper next time.

I used ground turkey instead of beef and they turned out great! I also added some chopped bell peppers and onions.

I'm not usually a fan of spicy food, but these meatballs were surprisingly mild. The chipotle flavor was there, but it wasn't overpowering.
