Carrot Meatballs

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb hamburger, ground lamb, turkey or chicken, or any combination there-of
• 1 1/2 cups grated carrots (peeling is optional)
• 1 medium onion, minced or grated
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon basil (i prefer fresh buds from my live-plant!)
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Recipe

• 1 prepare all ingrediatns as listed above and mix well. i prefer using my stand-mixer with the open paddle-blade.
• 2 form into 1/8 cup meatballs and place in a baking pan, preferably a broiler pan, especially if using a higher-fat content meat. (i use an 1/8 cup measuring spoon and pack the meat into it on the side of the bowl, then use another spoon to pull it out and form the balls a little better on the pan--quicker than trying to do it by hand and less messy!).
• 3 bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. (the cook book suggested frying them, and serving with a brown gravy, but baking is healthier, and the gravy only covers the great flavor!).
