This pork meatball appetizer is delicious. We always love a good appetizer recipe. Earlier this year, Skip to my Lou participated in the Kansas #FarmFoodTour taking a 3 day trip around Kansas visiting farms and ranches. On the first day of the trip the group was treated to the MOST delicious pork meatballs prepared at the home on Craig and Amy Good on their farm. You simply must try this recipe! Thanks to Amy Good for sharing her recipe with us:

Preheat oven to 425 F.
With your hands, mix the pork, ranch dip mix, parmesan, egg, chives, lemon zest, and Italian bread crumbs. Form into 8 even meatballs.
Roll the meatballs in the ranch dressing and then the panko crumbs, drizzle with oil and bake 25 min.
