Hi! 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. Here's the recipe: 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. ENJOY!!!
