For extra flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture. If you prefer a spicier meatball, add more chipotle peppers or a pinch of cayenne pepper. These meatballs can be made ahead of time. Simply bake them and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving. Serve these meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or a creamy cilantro-lime sauce. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the baking sheet before placing the meatballs on it.
