Spicy Meatballs

April 27, 2022 • 0 comments

Turn up the heat on your regular meatballs by adding some spice! These meatballs, made with Grass Finished Beef Spicy Sausage and Grass Finished Ground Beef, will give that quick weekday meal an extra kick to launch you into the week. Want another variation, try swapping out the Grass Finished Ground Beef with some Pasture Raised Ground Lamb. Yummy! Serve with a side dish of white or brown rice and a nice green salad. - I get requested by friends to make these meatballs when they come to visit!
