Are you looking for a recipe for the meat or for a sauce?

These can be spicy depending on what kind of salsa you use! Sauce is 1 can of jellied cranberries and 1 and 3/4 cup salsa. Melt cranberries...add salsa...and voila - meatball sauce :-) If you need to sweeten it a bit you can add some brown sugar.

If you want to try something a little different that is definitely rich and spicy - I make this Moroccan Beef Stir Fry that is so simple and delicious.

1 lb. ground beef
1 red pepper, sliced in thin slices
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp paprika

1 tsp EACH ground ginger, cumin and cinnamon

1/4 tsp EACH salt, pepper and hot pepper flakes

1 can (28oz/796 ml) diced tomatoes

3/4 cup (175ml) sliced green olives

1/3 cup (75ml) toasted pine nuts (optional)

1. Cook ground beef and onion, pepper and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking beef into small chunks with back of spoon, until beef is browned.

2. Stir in seasonings and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and bring to boil.

3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 5-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in olives; heat through. Serve garnished with pine nuts (if desired).

You can serve with rice, pasta or couscous!

ra_mom's honey-garlic meatballs are what you're looking for and they're really great.

I made them for Sukkos after making the same recipe for many years (that my family didn't want me to change) and they loved them.
