Sriracha-covered meatballs are the tasty meteors in this cheesy dinner!
It’s really easy to make. Really easy. If you can make a box of instant mac n cheese, and if you can use your oven to cook frozen meatballs, you can make this dish!
Here’s what you need to make Meteor Mac N Cheese:
- 1 box of instant macaroni and cheese
- 8-10 frozen pre-cooked meatballs
- Some good squeezes of sriracha sauce
- Milk as per the mac n cheese mix recipe
- Butter/margarine as per the mac n cheese mix recipe
Here’s how to make it:
1. Follow the directions on the package of frozen meatballs to cook 8-10 of them.

3. Once the meatballs are cooked, put them in a metal bowl. I usually gently pull the meatballs in half so I get more little pieces of meat.

This is a really good dish because sometimes you get bites of classic mac n cheese, some bites have just a spicy meatball, and some bites have a bit of both – a cheesy Sriracha-infused pleasure!
