YUMMMMY
This is a basic recipe I use.
In the past, I have experimented w/ squirts of ketchup, mustard, plain breadcrumbs (for Albondigas/Spanish meat ball stew), chopped fresh cilantro, crushed red pepper, dark brown sugar to caramelize in pan juices, and crumbled blu cheese.
Think of your fave meat loaf shaped into balls.
Can be tossed into pasta sauce w/ thick meaty slices of vari-colored bell peppers and eaten w/ bread, pasta, rice.
Enjoy!
