Taco Meatball Ring Recipe By tasteofhome.com

1. Taco Meatball Ring Recipe: (as seen in picture) While it looks complicated, this attractive meatball-filled ring is really very easy to assemble. My family loves tacos, and we find that the crescent roll dough is a nice change from the usual tortilla shells or chips. Recipe from Taste Of Home.
2. Meatballs in Tomato Basil Cream Sauce: Not only are these so simple to make (only 4 ingredients!) but the recipe makes a big batch. The article recommended to use some now and freeze the rest for later. Recipe from Krista’s Kitchen.
3. Porcupine Meatballs: These were so good! They honestly do taste great on their own if you’re not a fan of food smothered in ketchup, which I’m not. I think this recipe could prove to be very versatile and I’m looking forward to playing around with it more. Plus, the meatballs will freeze perfectly either before or after baking, just like regular meatballs. Recipe from Cooking During Stolen Moments.
4. Freezer Meatballs: You can substitute lean ground chicken, lamb, pork or turkey for the beef. Makes about 150 pieces, enough for 4 meals of 4 servings each. From The Canadian Living Test Kitchen.
5. Spaghetti with Mozzarella-Stuffed Meatballs: Found at Every Day With Rachel Ray.
6. Maple Meatballs: Here is a great recipe that could be used as a main dish or appetizer. It’s also a great dish for football season. This recipe for Maple Meatballs comes from Stephanie Ashcrafts cookbook 101 Things to Do with Meatballs. Found at Real Mom Kitchen.
7. Sizzling Hot & Spicy Meatballs: Made with traditional Asian flavors, these meatballs get a satisfying, subtle heat from a generous amount of chili flakes, ground ginger, and fresh garlic. The sweetness of the sausage balances out the hotness nicely. The best part? Once you’ve made them, they fry up in a few minutes flat, and develop a lovely caramelized crust in the process. Recipe from The Hungry Mouse.
8. Moroccan Spiced Lamb Meatballs with Lemon Mint Yogurt Sauce: To top off the meatballs, we made a lemon mint yogurt sauce that nicely complimented the meat. I really never had any idea I would love the mint / lamb combo so much but it just works. And I can’t really explain why, so just try it. Find some top quality pita bread and you have yourself a very tasty and exotic meal! Recipe from Culinary Adventures Of A New Wife.
9. Sweet And Sour Meatballs: These meatballs are also a huge winner with my kidlets. The meatballs are tender and perfectly seasoned, especially after baking in the simple sweet and sour sauce. For me, this is definitely a perfect weeknight meal – and we enjoy it often. Recipe from My Kitchen Cafe.
10. Asian Pork Meatballs with Soy Garlic Dipping Sauce: I did choose to fry these meatballs because I wanted a crispy golden brown outside with a tender flavorful inside. If you would prefer to bake them, I would recommend drizzling them with a little olive oil before cooking them in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30-35 minutes or until cooked through. Recipe from Life’s Ambrosia.
11. Swedish Meatballs: I served the meatballs over wide egg noodles, with a mix of steamed vegetables on the side, however these make terrific party food as well, served from a chafing dish with cocktail picks. Found at Once Upon A Plate.
12. Meatballs in Tomato and Chipotle Sauce: The meatballs are made from a flavorful mix of pork and beef and stuffed to the gills with chopped zucchini and onion – the meat barely binds the vegetables together, making for light and flavorful little albondigas. Even better, the meatballs aren’t first seared in a pan, like so many polpette of my youth, but rather braised directly in a simmering sauce. It makes for an easier clean-up and lighter, brighter-tasting meatballs. Recipe from The Wednesday Chef.
13. BBQ Meatballs: Comfort Food to the Max: These really are so delicious, folks. They’re almost like little “meatloaf balls”, with a lot more flavorful surface area than a big slice of meatloaf. And the sauce is just a classic sweet/sour ketchup concoction and it makes you think of Grandma. My kids love this dish, which is a miracle. And they’re delicious warmed up the next day and placed on a toasted sandwich bun with melted mozzarella on top. Yikes. Recipe from The Pioneer Woman.
14. Greek Meatballs Recipe: I found this recipe in the weekend edition of the Wall St. Journal as good “noshing” food for New Year’s and had to give it a try, with a few minor changes. It comes from chef Michael Symon of the Parea Greek restaurant in New York and Lola & Lolita Bistro in Cleveland. The meatballs are quite tasty and work well dipped in a little yogurt. Found at Simply Recipes.
15. Joey Campanaro’s Meatball Sliders: Adapted from The Little Owl restaurant, two sources, and a long afternoon cooking. Recipe found at Smitten Kitchen.
16. Grandma Maronis Meatballs 100 Year Old Recipe: Recipe from Food Network.
