Any time I need some kicked-up meatballs, these Creole meatballs are the ones I make. Sure, I have a more traditional recipe for meatballs too, but these are my go-to meatballs. They have a tremendous spicy flavor. They are not plain old meatballs by any stretch. Tender and tasty, just as you love.
I make a big batch of meatballs and freeze them for using later.
I love them on a Creole meatball sandwich….. and over pasta with extra sauce …
.. or as great appetizers.
Don’t be shy with the jalapenos, Creole seasoning or the hot sauce. You want your meatballs to have some kick!
