Made these meatballs for a kids party and they were gone even before the hostess could get a bite. They were really good. I also made some using ground turkey.
Sam Dalton says:
I made these meatballs for myself for meal prep, and they were really good. My wife took it upon herself to eat some, so they didn't make it to day four. Very flavorful and hearty.

Good easy Paleo meatball dish. I skip the pasta all together and eat them as cocktail meatballs with a side salad for lunch or dinner.
