Lamb Meatballs

How do you prefer your lamb meatballs, in a pita, over salad, or how about both?!

These lamb meatballs were so yummy and loved the salad and pita combo! Great for someone trying to cut on carbs or if you have someone in your family that needs them, either way both options are a crowd please.

Tip: You can always sear the meatballs and then bake them or use air fryer to be quicker, but it is so nice if you have a busy day to just throw them in the slow cooker and turn out 100%.
