Mexican Meatballs

TGIF anyone? It is also reveal day for another Recipe Swap!


The theme for this swap is Blogger's Choice. I was assigned A Seasoned Greeting and found the recipe I wanted to make after only browsing for a few short minutes. Her recipe for Mexican Meatballs sounded awesome! I made a few adjustments to the recipe such as browning the meatballs and creating a beef gravy with the enchilada seasoning.  I loved the end result of this recipe! The meatballs have a little kick from the hot sauce and the gravy, but taste delicious with the sour cream topping. We decided to serve our meatballs over a yellow rice and it worked perfectly. Ron begged me to keep these on a regular rotation. Thank you for a delicious new recipe! Thanks also goes to Sarah for putting together these wonderful swaps!
