How to Adjust the Spice Level in Meatballs

Whether you like your meatballs super spicy or really mild, it is easy to adjust the level of spiciness. Taste the sauce before adding it on top of the meatballs. For extra spice, use less grape jelly. For a mild flavor, use less sriracha.

What can you use instead of Sriracha?

For this recipe, you can use a different hot pepper sauce. Tabasco works great too.
