This Meatballs with Chunky Chili Sauce recipe combines the bold flavors of red hot chili peppers, fresh cherry tomatoes, and tangy salsa sauce, resulting in a delicious and spicy meatball dish. Perfect for a hearty dinner, this recipe marries the richness of ground beef with a zesty and slightly sweet chili sauce that will leave your taste buds tingling.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, and onion can significantly enhance the flavors compared to their dried or canned counterparts.
- Adjust the heat level: If you prefer a milder sauce, consider using fewer red hot chili peppers or removing their seeds before using.
- Mix thoroughly: Ensure that the ground beef mixture is well-combined for consistent flavor and texture in every meatball.
- Don’t skip the chilling step: Chill the meatballs for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape better when frying or baking.
- Cook meatballs evenly: If pan-frying, turn the meatballs frequently to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. For a less messy option, consider baking them in the oven.
- Customizable sauce: Feel free to add additional spices or ingredients to the sauce to suit your taste preferences, such as cumin, smoked paprika, or even a dash of hot sauce.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure the meatballs are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 160°F (71°C).
With every bite, these meatballs with chunky chili sauce offer a delectable blend of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. This dish is not only satisfying but also relatively easy to prepare. Enjoy it with your favorite side dish or as a standalone delight, and it’s sure to become a family favorite.
