Instructions:

1. Heat Dutch Oven

In a Dutch Oven, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.

2. Cook Veggies

Cook onion, garlic, and ½ cup Sun-Dried Red Chile Sauce until onion is tender, this should take 3-5 minutes.

3. Add Broth

In the same pot, add broth and ½ cup tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.

4. Make Meatballs Mixture

While the broth is being brought to a simmer, in a separate large bowl combine ground beef, rice, egg, salt, Hatch Red Chile Table Seasoning, milk, cumin, turmeric, crushed crackers, and the remaining ½ cup Sun-Dried Red Chile Sauce. Mix lightly but thoroughly.

5. Make Meatballs

With wet hands, form meatball mixture into 1½” balls. Using a spoon to help shape the meatballs might come in handy!

6. Add Meatballs to Broth

Add meatballs to the simmering broth; cook, occasionally stirring, for 40-45 minutes.

7. Serve and Enjoy

If desired, serve in a bowl with tostadas and cabbage and garnish with cilantro.
