Рецепт Tangy Sweet Chipotle Meatballs
Tangy Sweet Chipotle Meatballs are my answer to what you need to bring when watching a game or perhaps an afternoon of NASCAR. These meatballs are sweet, have some tangy flavor from cranberry jelly, and just the right amount of heat from chipotle peppers.
Theses meatballs are my personal take on the well known meatballs with cranberry sauce and chili sauce. I have always loved those meatballs, but I also love a bit of heat in the mix. So to these meatballs I added chipotle in two ways. If you have never had chipotle you are missing out. Chipotle is made from smoked jalapenos. These have just the right amount of heat and smoke. Once you try chipotle, you won’t want to do without this wonderful spice.
For this recipe we cook our meatballs fully before adding them to the crock pot. If you don’t have a crock pot you can warm them in the sauce in a pot and serve them while they are warm. I would imagine if you have any left over they would taste great in a tortilla for a quick and easy sandwich.
I have to say these were so good that they were gone almost immediately. While I typically like what I cook, I have to say these were quickly gone, and I will be making these again very soon.
