Meatballs. 
The perfect form of ground meat that we (meat-eaters) all love to consume. 
It is a staple at every baby shower, first birthday party, and simple holiday event. This recipe is going to give meatballs a different lift. Yeah, it is easier to get the big bag from the freezer section but this recipe is going to make you want to buy packs of disposable gloves as you would roll these away. Meatball flavoring can easily change for whichever mood you’re feeling but this is my staple.
