Buffalo Chicken Meatballs in a buttery sauce are so addictive, delicious, and easy to make.

I partnered with Minerva Dairy to show you how I create this recipe using their delicious butter.

6 generations of Butter Makers, Minerva Dairy is America’s oldest family-owned creamery. Also, this delightful butter is 85% butterfat, high-quality made from pasture-raised cow milk.

I would not only recommend this butter for sautéing, or to make your sauce richer, but for baking and just spreading on your morning toast as well. It is most definitely lusciously delicious! I must admit the Minerva Dairy Butter is one of the best.

Nonetheless, these spicy meatballs are fantastic when you serve them as an appetizer with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and some crunchy vegetables. Also, you could make the best meatball sandwich. We tried it and fell in love with each bite. Also, if you cannot find ground chicken you can substitute with ground turkey.

I tried it and it was just as good!

Anyways, I have decided to show you today how I made a fun and tasty appetizer platter these delicious meatballs.

This platter would be perfect when you have guests, of course, for potlucks or served for the big game, as well as quick and tasty bites for yourself.

Ingredients

• 1-pound ground chicken (or ground turkey)

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ tablespoon dried parsley
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
• ½ teaspoon salt

   and seasonings to a large bowl then stir with a fork to combine.
3. Add ground chicken then mix until combined, then drizzle a
   bit of oil – do not over-mix or meatballs will be tough. Divide chicken mixture
   into quarters, then each quarter into 4 balls, which gives you 16 meatballs.
4. Place meatballs onto a buttered cooling rack set on top of a
   baking sheet, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

   buffalo sauce and stir to combine.
6. Add cooked meatballs to the skillet then turn them around to
   coat in sauce.
7. Place a lid on top and turn heat to low to keep warm. The
   the sauce will get thicker.
8. Serves everything on the charcuterie board, a large plate,
   or a platter.

Notes

  easier.

Ingredients

Mashed Potatoes

• 1 box Our Family mashed potato, read the instruction on the box; Water, butter, salt, and milk
• 1 large egg, optional

Ground Beef

• 1 tablespoon oil + for frying
• 1//2 pound ground beef, 20/80
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Assembly

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs, more if needed
• 2.5 oz Our Family Everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

1. Follow instruction on the back of the mashed potato box.
   You would need 4-6 servings, depending on how many serving you are planning to
   make. 2 patties are enough per person. You can make 15-16 equal-sized
   croquettes.
2. Heat a skillet with oil and sauté on the medium-high heat.
   Cook until the meat is completely cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Keep stirring
   and breaking the meat into small chunks. If you have any leftover grease,
   please drain it out before mixing it with the mashed potatoes. You may add one
   egg in the mixture, but it is not necessary.
   
3. Wait for a few minutes until the meat is a bit cooled then
   add to the mashed potato bowl. Using a wooden spoon or similar mix together
   very well the mixture. Taste and see if it needs any more salt or pepper. If
   the mixture is too warm to work with refrigerating for 20 minutes and then make
   croquettes.
4. Make patties between 2 oz to 3 oz. You may use the scale to
   measure. Not necessary, but sometimes handy if you wish your croquettes to be
   the same size. You may also make bite-size croquettes as shown on the pictures.
   They are about the size of a golf ball.
5. Make patties and place on the tray lined up with parchment
   or wax paper. Cover with it as well and place the tray in the fridge for 30
   minutes so the croquettes could chill. You may prep them overnight as well.
6. After chilling, place three plates; flour, mixed eggs,
   breadcrumbs with everything bagel seasoning.
7. Drench into the flour on both sides as well as around, dip
   in the egg mixture then into breadcrumbs mixed with everything bagel; set aside
   and back on the tray. Continue until everything is complete.
8. Now, you may place it back to the fridge if you do not plan
   to fry these right away or just heat the oil and fry.
9. Line paper towel on the plate or cookie rack.
10. Heat about 1 cup of oil for frying.
11. Never over crowed the frying skillet. Fry 3 or 4 croquettes
    at the time at medium-high heat. Fry for a minute then flip and fry again until
    you reach a deep golden color.
12. Take out and set on the lined up kitchen paper towel.

Notes

You may make these meatless and use mushrooms or just
chives to create an amazing appetizer.

I tried these with egg and without it. I like it both ways. Adding one egg makes it somewhat more creamy on the inside. It is really not neccecery but you may use it if you would like to test it yourself.

These hold well in the lunch boxes for school or work.

Our Family Everything bagel seasoning contain sodium so please be aware of that before adding too much salt into your croquettes.

Ingredients

• Mission® Thin & Crispy Tortilla Chips, 9 oz

• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 pouch taco seasoning
• Toppings:
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 1/2 cups assorted tomatoes, sliced in half

• 1/4-1/2 jalapeño, optional

2. Transfer the mixture to the serving dish and add all desirable toppings, preferably fresh.
3. I used toppings that we usually add to our tacos, so it made perfect sense to add lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeño and black olives and serve it with our favorite restaurant-style Mission Thin & Crispy Tortilla Chips.
4. Keep the dip cold before serving.

Notes

• Refrigerate dip if you are not going to serve it right away.
• For the best taste, use whole milk dairy products.
• Use fresh ingredients for the toppings, as they are preferably the best to make this dip colorful and at the same time, beautiful and tasty.
• You may make your own taco seasoning.
• Add more Sour cream if needed
• Fast way to bring cream cheese to room temperature: Take the cheese block out of the paper carton package, then unopened cheese, place in the warm, almost hot water for about 5 minutes.
