I was thinking of what to make for dinner tonight, and came up with this great,quick , and easy recipe. The chipotle sauce is so thick and creamy with a nice kick to it. Your friends and family will love this dish. You can add or reduce the amount of Chipotle peppers, depending on your family's taste. I love all my stuff super hot, so the whole can is just right for us. You can also serve these meatballs as appetizer with the chipotle sauce on the side. Ingredients:
