About Our Meatballs
We start with our Florida pasture-raised ground beef and then blend in just the right balance of our Cracker Cow Burger Blend to let that rich, beefy flavor shine through.
Each meatball is pan-fried, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned—just the way we like to eat after a day out on the range. We’ve perfected this recipe over the years of sampling at markets, and we’re thrilled to share it with you so you can create the same mouthwatering experience at home.
Serve your meatballs up family-style with a hunk of crusty bread for mopping up every last drop of sauce. Or turn them into sliders, toss them in a zesty pasta sauce, or even top a baked potato—there’s no wrong way to enjoy them.
And because these meatballs are made with pasture-raised ground beef and simple, wholesome ingredients, you can feel good about every bite.
