Raspberry Chipotle Meatballs

These have a very unique, very delicious flavor! Wonderful served over/with hot buttered noodles with fresh steamed green beans. (You can find the Bronco Bob's Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce at Target with the BBQ sauces. Or you can use another chipotle sauce of your choosing in its place.)
