Raspberry Chipotle Meatballs

Submitted by AprilShowers

"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.)"

Flavors were just off and with the price of meat it was hard to have to toss them out.
