Hot Sausage & Cheddar Cheese Meatballs

These can be quite spicy, depending on the heat of the jalapenos you use.  You have the option of using cream cheese in the meatballs or an egg.  The egg version seems to be a lot hotter than the cream cheese. However, both have a very nice flavor.

I have used Bob Evans Naturally! in this recipe because it is free of sodium nitrites and MSG.

Servings: meatballs
Instructions
  1. Prepare baking pan by lining with foil, then topping with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl.  Combine with mixer.  Shape into meatballs using small cookie scoop. Bake at 375 degrees F and bake for 15 minutes. My oven has a speed bake option and I use it for these.  You may have to bake for an additional 5 minutes or so if you do not have that option.
Recipe Notes

Although spelt is actually a type of wheat flour, most people with wheat allergies can digest spelt with no problem.  Obviously, you should not eat spelt if it is a problem for you.

It would be a good idea, after mixing the ingredients, to make a meatball-sized patty and fry it in a skillet to see if you would like to add more jalapenos or other spices.

These can be made up ahead of time and frozen in an airtight container before baking.  Then remove from freezer, thaw and bake when needed.
