How to Make It

Season the beef with salt and pepper.  Thoroughly mix the beef, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, garlic powder, green onions and 2 tablespoons cheese in a large bowl. Shape the mixture firmly into 30 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs. Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until well browned on all sides (for better browning, add and cook in two batches). Pour off any fat. Add the picante sauce to the meatballs and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the meatballs are done. Stir in the remaining about 3/4 cup cheese and cook for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with additional chopped green onions, if desired.

    Picante Party Meatballs

    I used these meatballs to accompany a spaghetti dish. I did not use salsa, just some Prego and water in the crockpot; I used chopped celery instead of green onions, Swiss cheese instead of cheddar, and I added minced garlic. Everyone at the party loved them!
