Meatballs in Chile Sauce

By: Ortega®

"Your family will love this meatball recipe, made extra delicious by the addition of smoky chipotle chiles. Chipotles are smoked jalapenos, available dried, pickled, or canned in adobo (mild red chile) sauce. You can find chipotle chiles at Mexican groceries, most major supermarkets and gourmet food stores."
