These rich, savory, gently spicy spinach garlic meatballs are incredibly quick and easy to throw together, and they’re endlessly adaptable for all kinds of occasions and meals.

They shine as crowd-pleasing party appetizers: just thread them onto cocktail picks and serve with a simple marinara dip for casual snacking. They also work beautifully as a hearty main dish, paired with spaghetti and tangy red sauce for a comforting classic meal. Our favorite way to enjoy them, though, is as a juicy, flavor-packed filling for loaded submarine sandwiches, piled high with all your favorite tasty toppings.

No matter how you choose to serve them, this flexible recipe is simple to tweak to match your taste preferences, so you can easily make this dish your own.
