HERE ARE A COUPLE TIPS WHEN COOKING YOUR MEATBALL HORS-D’OEUVRES:

• You can use different types of protein when you are making meatballs. Turkey, beef, chicken, and pork are pretty popular choices.
• You always want to make sure that the meatballs are cooked all the way through before serving them. The easiest way is to use a meat thermometer and check the temperature. I prefer the taste and texture when they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Did you know there are many methods for cooking easy meatball appetizers? You can bake them, cook them on the stovetop, Instant Pot or even a slow cooker. Many recipes can be adapted to fit the method you prefer. No matter what, you are going to end up that that tangy goodness you can’t get enough of.
