    Best Party Meatball Recipes

    BEST PARTY MEATBALL RECIPES — Whether you’re hosting a holiday party or tailgating on the weekend, meatballs are an easy way to serve a crowd, and this collection of over 30 of the best meatball recipes has something for every occasion!


    Best Party Meatball Recipes

    When it comes to serving appetizers for a crowd, nothing beats savory, saucy meatballs. We serve some kind of meatball appetizer every holiday season at my house, and with so many recipes to choose from, we never get tired of them!

    Meatballs are especially great for taking to potlucks or game day parties, because it’s so easy to make them, transport them, and keep them warm in a slow cooker. And they’re pretty much guaranteed to be a hit with kids and adults alike!

    And although these meatballs are sure to be the hit of any party, most of these recipes also make great main dishes served over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.

    My favorite time saving entertaining tip: make a double batch when you make any kind of meatballs and freeze half (without the sauce) for another time.

    Featuring everything from beef, sausage, chicken, turkey and lamb meatballs in all kinds of sauces (think barbecue, sweet and sour, teriyaki, buffalo and more!) this recipe collection is sure to include the perfect meatball recipe for your next gathering.

      I once made meatballs using pickle relish in them and can no longer find the recipe. Do you know of one? They were quite good. Thank you
