Holiday season is in high gear, so whether you want to make these buffalo meatballs as a holiday appetizer or as an everyday meal by tossing it with some marinara and pasta for a comfort dish, Johnsonville Meatballs has you handled.
Today I’m sharing them as a party food, since it’s an appetizer I’ll be serving for my New Year’s Eve soiree.
Here’s the best part about this party dish, Johnsonville does most of the work–no chopping, no mixing, no worrying about creating the right flavor–it’s all there and ready to go. To get started, grab a bag, thaw the meatballs, poke holes through out, soak it in your favorite hot sauce. Then roll it in panko crumbs and give it quick deep fry – done. If you really want to step it up, insert a bit of mozzarella cheese in the center and a spicy, cheesy meatball bomb.
Enjoy!

Love mini buffalo meatballs, how delicious!!!
It tasted just as good as you said it would. Additionally, thank you for emphasizing the significance of using high-quality chocolate with at least 60% cacao. I almost bought a chocolate with a lower cacao % since I believed it wasn’t that essential.
