Sweet and Savory Meatball Lettuce Cups

With the Super Bowl coming, these Sweet and Savory Meatball Lettuce Cups would be a great addition to your menu!  They are the perfect combination of flavors and feature our favorite Jones Dairy Farm chicken meatballs.  We talk about their meatballs all the time!  I love them because they are so flavorful, gluten free (which can be hard to find when it comes to meatballs), and quick and easy to make!

Jones Dairy Farm is located in Fort Atkinson, about an hour outside of Madison!  I was actually just there for a basketball tournament and drove by their facilities.  We absolutely love partnering with small, local businesses who are doing great things in their community and Jones Dairy Farm is one of them!  

I made these Mediterranean Chicken Meatball Bowls last summer and wanted to create a recipe with a new spin!  And with the Super Bowl coming up, we thought an appetizer would be fun.  So these Sweet and Savory Meatball Lettuce Wraps are such a fun and tasty idea.  They are naturally gluten and dairy free. 

Let us know if you decide to make them and what you think!  We are big fans!  Here are some other appetizer recipes and without further ado, here is the recipe for the Sweet and Savory Meatball Lettuce Cups.
