Scrumptious and so easy to make Parmesan Meatball Pie ! This Pie is a winner every time, no matter the season – serve with salads or vegetable sides
It is no secret that our family loves meatballs. Whether they are stuck on a stick with a dip, over pasta with a sauce or in a pie as in this Parmesan Meatball Pie , we enjoy them all the time.
I like making my own meatballs from scratch. But when I am pressed for time, I simply use my favorite sausage meat and form it into meatballs. Nothing easier, as sausages are already spiced and full of flavor.
The meatballs I use in this Parmesan Meatball Pie did however get a shot of added Sweet Chili Sauce, just for that extra bite.
Use whichever sausage meat you prefer, I usually use traditional Boerewors which I know is very hard, if not totally impossible, to find in most countries outside of South-Africa.
This recipe would work with chicken, beef, pork and most other sausages which are easy to remove from the casings and also easy to form into meatballs.
Not a fan of sausages ? Make your own, favorite kind of meatball and use those instead !
The batter is not spicy or even have a strong flavor. Therefore you have plenty of room to play around with flavoring the meatballs which you intend on using for this Parmesan Meatball Pie.
