This enchilada meatballs recipe uses cornbread crumbs instead of crackers or regular bread. They're always a hit at parties! A friend shared this recipe with me ages ago and I've tweaked it to come up with this tasty change from the usual meatball recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups crumbled cornbread
  • 1 , 10 ounce
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend , divided
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef chuck
  • 1 , 10 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine cornbread, half of the enchilada sauce, half of the cheese, and salt. Crumble beef into mixture, and blend well using your hands. Shape meat into 1-inch balls, and place on a 10x15-inch jellyroll pan or any cookie sheet with sides to catch the grease.

  3. 3

    Bake for 18 to 22 minutes in the preheated oven until meat is cooked through.

  4. 4

    While meatballs are cooking, warm tomato sauce and remaining enchilada sauce in a saucepan. Remove meatballs from pan using a slotted spoon, and place on a serving dish. Pour heated sauce over them, and sprinkle cheese on top. Provide toothpicks for serving.
