This recipe was totally inspired from my butcher. They have a HUGE assortment of meat – from marinated chicken breasts to alligator tail to the best darn steaks I have ever seen behind a glass case. When I first got my BBQ meatball basket the first place I went was my butcher, no joke. I got ground chicken, ground pork and ground beef with jalapeno and cheddar cheese. Of course I couldn't have their recipe, so I made my own. :)
This recipe would also be great to use with a sloppy joes or tacos instead of meatballs. If you like spicier food I would skip step 2 of sautéing and just add the raw jalapenos and garlic to the ground beef. The chopped cheese that is called for in the recipe is real easy - all I did was shred some cheese and then chop it with a knife. Easy as pie. (Actually easier!)
Not much to write today – just busy with life. :)

These look delicious! I want to grab them with a tooth pick and dip them first in Buffalo Sauce and then in ranch dressing....Thinking of you and I hope you are well~
Oooh these look so good! Love the jalapeno and cheese in these meatballs.
Hi,
I'm back to read your post and look at the pictures. I'm still swooning over your End-of-Summer-Oyster-Party post. It's the best blog post I've seen. I became a member of your blog and look forward to seeing more.
Although I eat only seafood, I loved what you shared about your butcher. It's so important to have a trusted and knowledgeable provider for your food. My fish monger is one of the most important men in my life!
Have a great week.
Cheers,
Alaiyo
