Moroccan Style Meatballs
Meatballs are SUPER POPULAR and well-received with my 6 teenagers…if meatballs are cooking in the kitchen, the kids seem to make their way down and hang out, hoping for a sample.
Not sure what it is about meatballs that just make everyone happy at my house!
THESE Moroccan Style Meatballs are a level above! SO SO much flavor happening here! Garlic, Fresh Herbs, and Lots of Spices all come together to create an ultra-satisfying and cozy meal.
Definitely double up this recipe so you have some for meal-prepped lunches for a few days. They stay great in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat very well.
