These flavorful chili-seasoned meatballs are great with hot cooked rice or potatoes. Use diced tomatoes with chili seasonings, or add another teaspoon of chili powder and a little cumin and oregano to plain diced tomatoes.
Ingredients
- For the Meatballs:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork (or more ground beef)
- 1/2 cup onions (finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons cilantro (fresh, finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup bell pepper (red or green, finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large egg (slightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 to 1 cup bread crumbs (fine, dry)
- For the Sauce:
- 2 cans tomatoes (zesty chili-style diced; 14 1/2 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
Steps to Make It
-
Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Heat oven to 425°.
-
Combine the meatball ingredients, adding enough breadcrumbs to make a firm mixture.
-
Shape into 1- to 1 1/2-inch meatballs and arrange in one layer in the prepared pan.
-
Bake for about 15 minutes.
-
Remove and turn the meatballs; return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes longer.
-
Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a large saucepan. With a slotted spoon or tongs, add the meatballs to the sauce. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Serve with hot cooked rice, with freshly baked cornbread and cooked beans on the side, if desired.
