Meatballs: Perfect Party Food
I love that meatballs are inexpensive, simple and quickly to lay together, and all the time delicious. You could make an enormous batch of meatballs and toss them in any sauce you're keen on (try Cajun Turkey Meatballs, too). They freeze well, and, though they make proper appies, they're simply as nice as a meal, as with those Sweet & Sour Meatballs.

About These Merlot Meatballs
You can use any flooring meat for meatballs. For this recipe I used a mix of Italian sausage and flooring beef. As a result, the meatballs are juicy and tender, with out need for different fillers. And, this also makes them gluten-free, so that you may make everybody happy.

Frying vs Baking
You can fry your meatballs, but I desire to bake them. First of all, simply due to the fact baking capability they have much less fats and calories. Secondly, that delightful Merlot glaze wouldn’t dangle to the meatballs as properly in the event that they're already coated in oil from frying. But mostly, I don’t just like the mess simply due to the fact of frying. Minimal cleanup is the goal. Because this recipe is already quickly and simple.
