We used Hot Italian to give it a BOuLDER flavor. Boulder Sausage Hot Italian is authentically blended with peppers and all-natural spices, giving the dish excellent flavor without the need for additional seasoning. Although, for many, flavor preferences vary. Alternatively, use regular Italian Boulder Sausage for a milder flavor.

Meatballs:

  1. Combine all ingredients
  2. Ball and place on a sheet tray
  3. Bake meatball in Jenn Air Convection Steam Oven on convection bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until cooked through

Green Chile:

  2. Add cilantro, chilies, tomatoes, spices and chicken stock bring to a boil
  3. Simmer on Jenn Air Induction module for at least ½ an hour to desired consistency
