This BBQ Cheddar Jalapeno Chicken Meatballs Recipe is perfect for the holidays or to serve anytime! Between Pinterest and blogs, I usually have a list about a mile long of things that I am dying to make.

I recently went off script and decided to make these delicious BBQ Cheddar Jalapeno Meatballs. I used a basic meatball recipe for the base and then spiced things up with jalapenos, cilantro, and some cheddar cheese. When they are finished, toss them in some of your favorite sugar-free barbecue sauce and they are a delicious treat on their own or stuffed into a sandwich.
