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. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1 envelope taco bell taco seasoning mix (or taco seasoning mix of your choice) |
1 egg, beaten |
1/2 cup plain fresh breadcrumb |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons peanut oil |
salt and pepper |
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa, mild or hot |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomato sauce |
extra parmesan cheese, as a garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine ground beef, 1/2 of the taco seasoning package, 1/2 cup salsa, bread crumbs, cheese, egg and salt/pepper to taste.
2. Shape mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and brown in large skillet in the peanut oil.
3. Drain meatballs on paper towels.
4. In a 2 quart sauce pan, add the tomato sauce, remaining salsa, taco seasoning and meatballs.
5. Simmer for 30 minutes.
