Chopped fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine Ground Beef, bread crumbs, egg, 2 tablespoons cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 24 1-inch meatballs. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place meatballs in skillet; cook 8 minutes or until browned on all sides.

Cooking Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

Serve meatballs on skewers or on platter with toothpicks. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.
