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).

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.

Overall, I thought these meatballs were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs didn't turn out right. They were tough and bland.

These meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I found these meatballs to be a bit dry. I think I would add more sauce next time.

These meatballs are a bit spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use a milder cheese.

I wasn't sure how I would like the fiesta blend cheese in these meatballs, but I was pleasantly surprised. It adds a nice touch of flavor.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover ground beef. They're also a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I love how easy these meatballs are to make. I can throw them in the slow cooker in the morning and they're ready for dinner when I get home from work.

These are the best meatballs I've ever had! The sauce is amazing and the meatballs are so tender and juicy.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of ground beef, pork, and veal makes them so moist and flavorful.

These meatballs were a hit at my party! They were easy to make and so flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the fiesta blend cheese.
