Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
1 cup broccoli florets (steamed)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup sliced green onions (for garnish)
1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with cooked meatballs, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots. Drizzle with sweet chili cream and garnish with sliced green onions. Enjoy your Spicy Meatballs Rice Bowls warm!
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spiciness of the meatballs by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
You can also substitute the ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter option.
