Mexican Meatballs … It’s What For An Appetizer
Probably shouldn’t mention that I am live in Washington—SeaHawks Land. Who doesn’t love a meatball. I think I make a great meatball. But your meatballs are greater than my meatballs for sure. I never thought of putting a Mexican spin on a meatball. Recently I have two versions of an Asian meatball both of which gave new meaning to the word savory.
No, don’t mention Seahawk land please! 🙂 We’re still not over it. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Heading over to your site right now.
Cancel the missing friend report. Catching up on your blog has been on my list for far too long – but I wanted to have some time to savor the pictures and recipes. This looks sinfully decadent – love the idea of Mexican meatballs! We had queso fundido (Pioneer Woman’s recipe ish) and it was a hit. Would have been twice as nice with some of your meatballs. 🙂
Missing friend report cancelled! 🙂 Queso Fundido has been on my list for a long time. I’ve been eyeing a Rick Bayless recipe, I’ll have to Google Pioneer Woman’s version.
Oh my!! I could hurt myself eating those. They look amazing. Printed out to try real soon. Thanks for sharing.
I was really pleased with the flavor of my meatballs. And with queso blonco we couldn’t stop eating these. Thanks Griffin.
The meatballs truly look amazing! I love that each of you has a different style shirt on in the pic-how fun! I’m bummed about the outcome of the game too, on to next season:@)
Thanks so much! And for stopping by and the comment. I can’t ever think about next season yet… geez such a bummer of a game. 🙂
Sad it was Ansh. What a mess. But the sun came up on Monday and it’s back to routine. 🙂
I have no comment absolutely at all: except, those meatballs look fantastic.
I really like your comment ChiliB.
Love those meatballs! So wonderful. Sorry about the Broncos, but there’s always next year!
Darn those Broncos! Thanks John. 🙂
Yes please. I’ll take a whole plate! AH-MAY-ZING! These look so darn good!!
Thank you Nicole! And thanks for stopping by.
Your meatballs with queso blanco sound like a real winner. Your Broncos put our Patriots out of the running and we thought for sure they were going to win the Superbowl. There is always next year for everyone.
It was a sad day in Denver Karen. I thought we were going to win too and instead it was…. well, what it was.
much sadness here about the SB – but there’s always next year!
These look like a nice comforting way to console myself…
It was much sadness. I’m still stunned and eating meatballs. 🙂
Yum! Gorgeous meatballs but that sauce is divine!

Love it. I think I could too. Thanks for stopping by and the comment.
Absolutely delicious looking meatballs, Lea Ann! So disappointed re the game…imagine Denver is bummed out, but thought the sportsmanship on everyone’s part was wonderful to behold.
I agree Barbara. Always good to hear from you.
