If you’ve ever had a Banh Mi Sandwich you will LOVE this easy meatball version that has the same great flavors and it ready faster than take-out!
Meatballs are so versatile, they are great as an appetizer,
or sprawled out on a nice roll,
served over rice, rice noodles or pasta,
or over a bed of shaved brussels sprouts for a low carb meal.
The colors alone on this dish are irresistible, then after you pop one of these meatballs into your mouth you’ll think they taste even better than they look.
This dish just screams HAPPINESS, it’s perfect all year long which makes it a timeless go-to recipe!
First, make the sauce and set it aside, prepare the meatballs and cook them in a skillet.
Then add the sauce and continue cooking the meatballs until they are fully cooked.
I’m on a low carb eating kick and will share with you soon more of my FAVORITE low carb recipes.
