Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork sausage
- 8 oz cream cheese softened & cubed
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 oz diced green chilies
- ¼ cup taco seasoning click link for homemade recipe
- 12 oz hot sauce
Instructions
- Combine the sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green chilies and taco seasoning in a large bowl.
- Form into 18-20 balls.
- Place a large skillet or dutch oven on the stove over medium heat.
- Add the meatballs to the skillet and brown on all sides for 2-3 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are browned, pour the hot sauce over the balls.
- Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- Mild or hot pork sausage can be used. I used 1 lb mild and 1 lb hot to make these meatballs slightly spicy.
- The spice of the meatballs will be determined by both the sausage and hot sauce you use. Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness to your liking. I used Pico Pica Hot Sauce for this recipe, as it's a family favorite!
- To make these taco meatballs vegetarian, substitute 2 lbs soyrizo for the pork sausage.
