These are delicious, but I was expecting more heat as I used the greater amount of red jalapenos the recipe called for. I think next time I make these I will use green jalapenos. I find them hotter when they are green. As these peppers ripen into a red jalapeno the spiciness is lessened. Made for the Billboard Recipe Tag Game.

Very nice meatballs, but we found them not to be as spicy as we expected. We did enjoy them and when i make them again i will add more of the spices. I browned them in the frypan but finished them in the oven at 375f for 25 minutes, they turned out nice and juicy and tender.

I made the meatballs one day and let them sit in the fridge so the flavors could marry. I cooked them up the next night and served them with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. Very tasty tender meatballs indeed. We loved them! My friend took home some of the leftovers, and I ate the rest for lunch the next day and they were just as good. Thank you for sharing it Brandy!
