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! Creole food does not have a reputation for being bland or boring. These Creole meatballs may not be authentic cuisine, but they keep that dedication to tasty alive for sure!
Make tons of extra. They freeze great and are always ready to make for a quick lunch or dinner.
