Hi!

I recently held a birthday party for my husband and wanted to serve food
that appealed to both our chilehead family and friends and our
non-chilehead family and friends.  One thing that I made that got great
reviews was "meatballs from hell".  I didn't make them overly hot but
they had a lot of flavor.  Here's the recipe:

Meatballs from Hell
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
2 TBSP fresh cilantro
1-2 finely chopped habaneros
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp cloves
1 pound lean ground beef (I used 93% lean)

Mix all ingredients well.  Shape into meatballs and bake in a 350 degree
oven for 15-20 mins.  Serve with chutney or sauce of your choice.  

I have also made these to have with spaghetti and for meatball subs. 

ENJOY!!!
