I’ve been working on changing our dietary lifestyle. We still will sometimes splurge, but it’s a ‘sometimes’ and we try to keep it ‘in moderation’. This recipe I created to try to combat the typical beef fried meatballs and I think I succeeded in coming up with meatballs that are better than most meatballs you will find.

These meatballs are tender and juicy, with a little brown exterior to make them seem pan fried. Super easy to make, the hardest part is forming the meatballs (took about 15 minutes to make this full batch). Easy cleanup too… just throw away the tin foil and you are done!

Whether you are trying to reduce your fat intake, stop eating beef, or just like meatballs, these recipes are worth the try. Enjoy!
