Step 3

<p>Heat remaining oil in large sauté pan. Add meatballs; cook until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meatballs to paper towel-lined tray to drain.</p>

Step 4

<p>Heat drippings over medium-high heat. Add reserved vegetables, tomato sauce, 2 cups water, oregano and 1 tbsp. cilantro to pan; bring to boil. Season sauce with adobo.

Step 5

<p>Serve over cooked rice or pasta; garnish with cilantro, if desired.</p>

Your most flavorful meatballs!

Not sure if you added enough GOYA® Adobo? To check the flavor of the meat before forming the whole batch of meatballs, cook a bite-sized piece of the meat mixture in a greased skillet until cooked through. Taste, and then adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
