Meatballs from Hell

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 TBSP fresh cilantro
  • 1-2 finely chopped habaneros
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (I used 93% lean)

    Mix all ingredients well. Shape into meatballs and bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 mins. Serve with chutney or sauce of your choice.
    I have also made these to have with spaghetti and for meatball subs.

    NOTE:
    I recently held a birthday party for my husband and wanted to serve food that appealed to both our chilehead family and friends and our non-chilehead family and friends. One thing that I made that got great reviews was "meatballs from hell". I didn't make them overly hot but they had a lot of flavor.
