Party Panache, Magic Mini Meatball Muffins

In the mood for some hearty party bites,

I perused appetizer recipes on Pinterest

I combined several elements and ingredients from different recipes

and came up with these mini meatball bites

You have to make these~

they will disappear like magic!!

The meatballs are made with ground beef and breakfast sausage,

seasoned with Montreal Steak seasoning,

BBQ sauce, and sharp cheddar cheese

First combine the 2 meats, season and drizzle with BBQ sauce

Mix in seasonings and BBQ sauce

Add the cheese

It’s best to use your hands to combine meats and cheese

Form mixture into 1 inch meatballs

Cut biscuits into quarters

Use your fingers to form little cups with biscuit quarters

and place them into a sprayed mini muffin pan

Place a meatball into each biscuit cup

These can be made ahead and refrigerated until baking if desired

Bake at 400 for 10-13 minutes until golden and melty

Watch them disappear!

  1. Such a great idea! They are a perfect appetizer and crowd pleaser. I wish I could have a couple of them for my soup now :-))

  2. I’m saving this one. We may try to have a safe, outdoor Cork Poppers in early June and instead of having regular dinner where we have to sit down for it, have an appetizer afternoon. These look good — hearty enough to be a substitution of a meat dish and small enough to eat with your fingers. Thanks for this. I might give it a trial run soon!

    I like the idea of the meatball served in a muffin which would make them much easier to eat.
