Meatballs in Chipotle Sauce

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

Meatballs:

1/2 pound finely ground beef
1/2 pound finely ground pork
1/3 cup finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon fresh minced cilantro
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sauce:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
2 chipotle peppers, canned in adobo sauce, stemmed and chopped
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (from canned chilies)
1/2 cup beef broth

Preparation:

Meatballs:

Combine all the meatball ingredients, except the oil, and mix well. Form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Brown the meatballs in the oil, remove and keep warm.

Sauce:

To make the sauce, add the oil to the pan and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce is thickened.

Place the sauce in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan, add the meatballs, and heat through.

Answer 3

ITALIAN MEATBALLS 1 lb. ground beef 1 egg 1 c. bread crumbs (Italian seasoned) 1/2 c. milk 2 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese (optional) 1/2 tsp. oregano 1 tsp. parsley flakes 1 tsp. onion flakes, powder or salt 1/2 tsp. garlic powder Combine ingredients. Shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Place in covered skillet (fry pan) in oven 15 minutes (325-350 degrees). Do not overcook. Turn meatballs over. Cook for another 15 minutes. Drain liquid. Place meatballs in desired spaghetti sauce. Heat until sauce is hot and serve. That first answer is missing a key ingredient for cocktail meatballs--you need chili sauce WITH the grape jelly. Use equal amounts.

Answer 4

Feel free to substitute lean ground beef for the ground turkey.
INGREDIENTS:

* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the olive oil, and place it in the oven while preheating.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground turkey, egg, and bread crumbs using your hands. Using an ice cream scoop if possible, form the meat into golf ball sized meatballs. Place about 1 inch apart in the hot baking dish. Press down to flatten the bottom just slightly.
3. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then turn them over, and continue baking for about 5 more minutes, or until somewhat crispy on the outside. Serve with pasta and sauce or however you'd like.

5. Bake in 400º over for 20-25 minutes. *Mine always take 22 minutes in my oven.

Answer 7

1 lb lean hamburger
4 links Italian sausage (use turkey sausage for lower fat)
1/4-1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c grated parmesean
1 T chopped parsley

Mix all ingredients together. Place into spaghetti sauce to cook for 45 minutes or until done.

I don't like to brown mine first. I think they absorb more flavor this way.
