Caramelized Onion Lamb Meatballs

These Caramelized Onion Lamb Meatballs don’t dry out and have amazing flavor thanks to the addition of caramelized onions! Some of the best meatballs I’ve ever made.

These meatballs. They’re amazing.

When we received ground lamb in our meat CSA this year, we were at a loss of what to do with it. Our first thought was Bolognese, but considering my love for meatballs is everlasting, I was on a mission to turn the pound of ground lamb into delicious meatballs. And I did.

Caramelized Onion Lamb Meatballs are some of the most flavorful meatballs I’ve ever tasted. The caramelized onions make them super moist and add amazing flavor that you don’t get with regular raw onion. Plus, the cinnamon and cumin! You might look at those and think they don’t belong in a meatballs recipe, but trust me on this. It was meant to be.

I cooked these in my homemade tomato sauce, but you can use any sauce you like! The red pepper flakes adds just a bit of heat, but if you don’t like spicy food you may omit. If you’re a meatball lover like myself, you have got to try this recipe for Caramelized Onion Lamb Meatballs. You may also substitute ground beef or turkey and I would think they would still turn out great!
