These Mexican meatballs are a huge hit with the family!
Now that it’s back to school season for us I’m always trying to find quick, easy and tasty dinners especially since we have soccer or volleyball at least 3 nights during week. Mexican is always a big hit in my house so I decided to take a spin on an old favorite and try Mexican Meatballs!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR MEXICAN MEATBALLS:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs, unseasoned
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups salsa
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except salsa and mix well. Form into 1 inch balls.
In a large skillet brown the meatballs on all sides and drain fat. Add salsa to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes uncovered.
Serve on top of cooked Spanish rice and you’re done!
Super simple and quick dinner, plus the whole family will love it.
Leftovers are amazing, too!

I appreciate the dishes you offer us. Great photography/lighting and as always, good food
I was curious about a couple of things……are we just to guess about serving amounts? Prep/cooking time would be nice. Would there be any chance that the recipe (ingredients/directions/additional notes) could be presented together in in one area of the presentation and not have each sentence be divided from the next by a picture? Perhaps you could set a new rule for yourself by picking a number of pictures as a rule of thumb for all recipes and always including amount of servings.
You have done well so far and I encourage your excellent participation.
