Meatballs

A fun change from the usual meatballs and sauce. Stuff tortilla wraps with meatballs and salad for a tasty dinner or serve as bite-sized nibbles with dipping sauces. Tip - to speed up cooking time, cook in the microwave.

Cooking directions

• Mix together all ingredients in a large bowl.
• Shape into balls, using damp clean hands.
• Bake in the oven. Place meatballs on oven tray or roasting dish. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 180 degrees until cooked through (meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle).
• Or cook in the microwave. Place a layer of meatballs in a microwave-safe dish with lid, or cover with glad wrap. Cook on HIGH for 2 minutes, turn over and cook for another 2 minutes or until cooked through.
