Cheesy Enchilada Meatballs
This recipe is from On Our Weigh To Health. I had cornbread in the freezer. The recipe looked like something we would enjoy.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Corn Bread ( or you can use muffins)*
1 - 10 oz can of enchilada sauce .. divided
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/2 Cup of shredded Mexican Cheese
Directions:
In a large bowl add crumbled corn bread with a 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce and salt.
Add the beef and mix well
Roll into 1 inch balls
Place the meat balls on a lightly greased a shallow pan.. bake at 350° for 25 -30 min.
In a small pan heat tomato sauce and the rest of the enchilada sauce
Spread some sauce on the bottom of a 8 x 8 baking dish which I prepared with non stick spray, add the baked meatballs then top with additional sauce and cheese.
Placed the dish back in the 350 degree oven till the cheese melts.
I like sweet cornbread so my meatballs had a slightly sweet taste. To make life really easy you can buy bread or muffins if you don't want to bake.
The photo of this recipe is not one of my better shots. Darling Gabe was hungry and when there's a recipe with cheese he wants to dig in!

I don't blame Gabe for not wanting to wait.....this looks and sounds soooooooooo GOOD !! I love cornbread also, and this is going on my list of Must try. Thanks Linda
ReplyDeleteGabe was doing a happy dance! Cheese, meat and cornbread!
DeleteThis sounds delicious! Cornbread and Enchilada Sauce - what could be better? I wonder how it would be with Mexican Cornbread? I think I know what's for dinner!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed it!
DeleteThanks for stopping by
Yes please....and thank you! Bob would love these-I would too. I have a super easy homemade enchilada sauce I bet would work in these-and I always seem to have a corn muffin mix in the cabinet that I bought for some other recipe. This would be a great one to use that in....make the muffins and crumble up....PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda-I'm looking forward to giving this one a try for sure-you know how much we love Mexican stuff.
Oh and uh....it's usually ME asking Bob when he's taking photos of food...."Are you done yet? I'm really hungry.....haven't you taken enough pictures? Can we eat NOW?" :)
I got this one and then it was 'forget about the photo". Good thing I took it, wasn't much left. LOL
DeleteLooks great and easy too. Carol, I have to put stuff aside and hide it as Randall will eat it before I get the photos. drives me nuts!
ReplyDeleteYeah Cyndy, so easy and it's good!
DeleteThis looks so good. Going to try this..
ReplyDeleteDottie- you guys are gonna love this one!
DeleteThat looks so good! I understand rushed photos, I usually have a couple hungry boys breathing down my neck too! They still look delicious!
ReplyDeleteNo kids here, just one hungry hubby!
DeleteThanks for stopping by Carlee.

This looks really good. If I have corn bread mix, but not the bread made, is there a way to use that?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at the Tips & Tricks party. That's how I found you. Hope you'll join us again on Monday!
I would make up the mix, I don't think just the corn bread mix would work but if you try it please let me know how it came out.
DeleteI made mine up with a box mix, did a pan of muffins which was a great side.
Lisa, really if you just use the mix I would love to know how it came out. Thanks
Linda
This sounds super easy! I see this on the menu in our future. =)

I just made enchilada stack with tortillas on the bottom and top of the enchilada mixture and cheese in the middle. It was so much easier than rolling them, and I have nice squares to freeze for future meals. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI'll try that next time! Thanks Margy.
