Hot Italian Sausage Meatballs

May 25, 2016 by Kristin 1 Comment

I’m typically a turkey meatball {with a ton of added veggies} gal. But zucchini noodles topped with zucchini-filled meatballs seemed like, well, entirely too much zucchini. So that’s when I got to thinking..

Aren’t traditional meatballs made with ground pork? And aren’t I the hugest fan of hot Italian sausage? And that’s how these hot Italian sausage meatballs came to be.

These spicy and flavorful meatballs are filled with the good stuff like onions and fresh parsley. And with no gluten-ous fillers, they’re the perfect topper for a gluten-free zucchini noodle dinner.

Bison, Sausage & Quinoa Hash

If I’m not cooking, Snap Kitchen is my 100% go-to for quick, healthy eats. I have regular favorites: salmon salad, turkey chili, veggie lasagna. But the one I just can’t seem to get enough of these days is the bison quinoa. Yep, bison!

After eating bison quinoa for lunches in a row, I thought “Hey! I can totally make this”. After all, the ingredients are pretty visible and hashes are pretty flexible.

I added some hot Italian sausage to get some extra grease to sauté the veggies in, but you could get by with using 1-1/2 lbs of ground bison in lieu of sausage. And leftover hash is perfect reheated and topped with an over medium egg.

Two Ingredient Dinner: Sausage & Broccoli

If you follow FoodFash on Instagram, you’re likely to have seen a hot Italian sausage and broccoli appearance at least three {possibly ten} times. It’s two ingredients, super quick to prepare, and really, really inexpensive {like less than 3 bucks per serving cheap}.

I strongly encourage using a high quality sausage that’s seasoned really well since this seasoning will carry over to the entire dish. If you live near a Whole Foods, the bulk hot Italian sausage in their meat department is my favorite.

Quickness and cost aside, I mostly enjoy this recipe because it tastes pepperoni-esque and encourages the consumption of a lot, a lot of broccoli. It’s an extra fulfilling, feel good meal – aren’t those the best kind?
