Seahawks Superbowl Special

Our hometown team is going to the Superbowl so we threw together a few Seahawks themed recipes!

In a large bowl combine egg, water, bread crumbs, onion, jalapeños, and spices. Add ground beef and mix with your hands to combine. Form into 1" meatballs and place on a broiler pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until meatballs are no longer pink in center. Toss in a BBQ of your choice and serve with toothpicks. Whoa, that's one spicy meatball!
