Notes

Yield: This recipe makes approx. 16 meatballs. A serving is 2 meatballs.
  • Note: If you're not a blue cheese fan you can use any type of cheese. I recommend ¼- or ½-inch blocks of your favorite for each meatball... I love cheddar or mozzarella!
  • These meatballs are SPICY! You could buy a mild buffalo/wing sauce if you'd like to cut the spice. Also, dipping in ranch makes them less spicy and tastes amazing!
Storage: Store Buffalo chicken meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
