Here’s another exciting & very tasty recipe for spicy meatballs.
4 lb 80/20 ground beef
2 lb pork sausage
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp dired basil
2 tsp dried oregano
5 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
2 eggs
2 tsp Formato Brothers Hot Pepper Spread (drain excess oil)
5 oz goat cheese for stuffing into meatballs once they are thoroughly mixed
Mix all ingredients together. Use your hands….it’s therapeutic. : )
Roll about 2 Tblsp into palm of hand, with your thumb press down to create a space to accommodate 1/2 tsp of goat cheese. Use a small measuring spoon to be consistent.
Place on a rack on a baking sheet in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 25 minutes until brown.
Or….fry in canola or vegetable oil at 360 degrees turning over after a minute or so until brown. Then place on a metal rack to drain off excess oil.
Enjoy!
