10 ounces red enchilada sauce (10 oz can)
1 jalapeño pepper, (chopped)
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup cilantro (fresh chopped)

5 green onions (chopped)
1 cup Panko bread crumbs breadcrumbs ((I used Panko))

10 ounces red enchilada sauce (10 oz can)
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
cilantro

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl add all the meatball ingredients and mix well using your clean hands. Shape the meat mixture into balls around the size of a golf ball. You should get around 30 meatballs.
Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
In a large skillet or a casserole dish, pour the enchilada sauce over the entire bottom. Sprinkle with about half of the cheese. Place the meatballs over the sauce then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake the casserole for another 20 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to brown on top.
Sprinkle with the optional toppings, if preferred.
