There’s nothing like having an amazing meal that could be eaten on game days or weeknights. Your favorite team and backup second favorite team are going to be playing this weekend and the last thing you want to do is get involved with a meal that will take you away from the T.V screen and into the kitchen.
Honey buffalo meatballs are perfect for solving this problem. While you catch your favorite games, lunch and or dinner are being cooked. No more running back and forth to the kitchen every commercial break or halftime.
Keep in mind so far we have only addressed gaming events but what about weeknight dinners? Well, honey buffalo meatballs are excellent during weeknights as well. The sweet and spicy sauce are just the kind of flavor you want during the weeknight and the sauce can be easily adjusted to make them sweeter or spicier to pair them with other sides making them a wonderful meal.
The recipe comes from Carlsbad Cravings and according to the creator of these incredible meatballs they can easily be adjusted to make them sweeter or spicier to suit your mood at dinner time.
