These lil Creole meatball appetizers have kick and zing and yum! They are definitely not ho-hum like some of your typical meatball appetizers. Thanks to jalapeno pepper jelly and hot sauce, you won’t be jonesin’ for something spicier. You’ll get the heat and then some.
I make a big batch of these Creole meatball appetizers, so I usually end up doubling the amount of sauce I make. Oh, and if you can’t find Creole mustard, use a good grainy mustard and add just a tad more vinegar. If you aren’t a fan of liquid smoke you can leave it out. If you still want a bit of smokiness add a few good-sized pinches of chipotle powder.
This recipe is based on a recipe from Cajun Delights.
