Spicy Balls...

Did I get your attention with the title? Haha! Anyway, I made some spicy marinara meatballs and thought I'd share the recipe. They were spicy and delicious! I did substitute the crushed red chilli peppers for cheyenne pepper instead for more kick!! If you don't have a convection oven, I'd recommend turning the meatballs half way through.

Ingredients

1 pound extra lean ground beef

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 small onion, diced

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), or to taste

1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1/3 cup skim milk

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place the beef into a mixing bowl, and season with salt, onion, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, oregano, red pepper flakes, hot pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce; mix well. Add the milk, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs. Mix until evenly blended, then form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs, and place onto a baking sheet.

 

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.

Enjoy!
