Ingredients:

Meatballs:

• 1 package of Hot Italian Boulder Sausage

Green Chile:

• Small onion diced
• 3 cloves of garlic diced
• ½ pound of ground pork

Craft it your way!

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:

1. Aggressively brown the meat and add onions, garlic and cook until translucent
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
