Spicy BBQ Pork Habanero Meatballs

I was trying to debate whether to do a riff on a meatball sandwich or a pulled pork sandwich, so instead of focusing on one of them I kind of just brought the flavors together in this spicy BBQ meatball sandwich. I guess it’s balls week on TFIMB. It was unintentional but it happened. Make all the crude jokes you want you animals, this sandwich was delicious! I also have some fun 3d gifs in this post. I have always noticed that when my camera takes 2 pictures really quickly it sometimes looks 3d when I go back and forth between them.  I wanted to make a conscious effort to start posting them! Let me know if you like ’em.

Just a quick and easy slaw

 

The meatballs were inspired by what I had around, as many of the dishes have been on here recently. I like to have a cheese, a bread, an herb, and garlic in the mix anytime I make meatballs. The habanero and feta actually went together really well.

While the meatballs browned up, I mixed a quick sauce of some leftover stuff I had.

Whoa 3d meatballs!

A quick toss in the sauce.

Then it all just gets piled on a fresh roll.
