This was amazing! My husband loved it on a French bread sub. Used a can of Rotel in place of the crushed tomatoes and Chile’s in adobo.

Oh my lanta!!!! I made these and they were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for this recipe!

Love this recipe so much I have told my friends and they love it too! Thanks so much!

I love the meatballs not sure sure if there healthy but they taste great.  Had mine with beans

Absolutely delicious. We look forward to making this a regular meal.
The spiciness was just right for everyone, even those in the household that doesn't normally do spicy.
The subs were not long for this world.

Really good, had to take out the Jalapeno only added 1 tspn of Chipotle cause someone can't eat spicy :( but it was still amazingly good and a real hit! Will make it again one day but I might add more cheese to both the ground beef and the top layer!!

I pretty much followed the recipe, and these turned out great!

9/10!! Would definitely make it again. Subbed the beef for chicken, added more jalapeño and cumin. I would do less cheese on top though. It was a bit much.

This was really a awesome recipe. Made once last year, and received good remarks, gonna make this this year again!

The fam liked this dish, but I added some garlic and cumin to the sauce. It sounded a little bland as written.  Otherwise, thumbs up and will make it again.

These were a hit with my family!  Had a can of chopped green chilis, but no jalapeño, and a tablespoon of those worked perfectly.  Diced rather than crushed tomatoes, because that is what I had in the pantry.  Served over takeout Mexican rice from the local Mexican restaurant, because there are only 24 hours in a day!  This recipe is now on our “make this again, Mom” list.

I am making this for my mother-in law on her birthday. Looks delicious!

Tex Mex Meatballs Recipe

beef (about 90% lean)

pork

white or yellow onion (diced small)

jalapeno pepper

bread

garlic (finely minced)

salt (to taste)

black pepper (or to taste)

Mexican cheese blend (divided)

olive oil (for browning)

cilantro (finely minced; for garnishing)

chipotle peppers chipotle sauce

garlic

tomato paste

oregano oregano

salt (or

chicken broth

Combine

Meatballs - To a large bowl, add all the ingredients (use 1 cup cheese and reserve the remaining 1 cup) for the meatballs and mix lightly with clean hands or a wooden spoon. Tip - Do not overmix or overwork the mixture or meatballs will be tougher.

Portion

Form 2-tablespoon sized meatballs using a large cookie scoop. Tips - Use a cookie scoop for visual uniformity and this uniformity also ensures that cooking time will be uniform. You can use a smaller cookie scoop if desired and make smaller meatballs, noting that cooking time will be reduced.

Brown

To a large cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet, add the olive oil, add the meatballs, and brown the meatballs over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, flipping as necessary to ensure uniform browning on all sides. While meatballs are browning, quickly blend the sauce.

Blend

Chipotle Enchilada Sauce* - To the canister of a high-speed blender, add all ingredients. Start with 1 cup of reduced sodium chicken broth, and as desired or necessary for consistency, add additional broth.

Simmer

Pour the enchilada sauce over the browned meatballs, reduce the heat to medium-low, and allow the meatballs to simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened some and the meatballs are cooked through. Tip - If the sauce gets too thick, you can add a bit of additional chicken broth or water directly into the skillet to thin the sauce as desired.

Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese. The cheese will melt just like this in about 5 minutes. You can cover the skillet with a lid for faster melting.

Broil

However, optionally, turn the broiler to high, and place the skillet under the broiler, and broil for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is as golden browned as desired. Tips - This is optional, but make sure if you&#x27;re broiling you don&#x27;t turn your back on the stove or get distracted because food can burn in less than 1 minute under a broiler. You don&#x27;t have to broil on the top rack and can broil a bit lower down which is a bit of insurance against burning.

Serve

Garnish with cilantro as desired and serve immediately. Extra meatballs will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
