Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground meat (such as beef, chicken, or turkey)
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup crushed Hot Cheetos
• Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, beaten egg, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined evenly.

2. Take small portions of the meat mixture and roll them into bite-sized meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

3. Place the crushed Hot Cheetos in a shallow dish. Roll each meatball in the crushed Hot Cheetos, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere to the meat.

4. Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated meatballs to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the meatballs until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

5. Remove the cooked meatballs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

6. Serve the Purple Reign Hot Cheetos Crusted Mini Meatballs as an appetizer during game day or as a fun and flavorful main dish. They can be enjoyed on their own or served with your favorite dipping sauce.
