Description

A wonderful mini meatballs recipe with a slight Cajun kick – ideal as a bite size appetizer or in a marinara sauce over pasta.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds, 3-⅓ ounces, weight Ground Beef
  • ¾ cups Oats (quick Cook)
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ½ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
  • 1 Tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper

Preparation

Line a couple of rimmed baking trays with wax paper and set aside.

In a large bowl combine ALL the ingredients and with clean hands mix thoroughly until it resembles an almost pate consistency. Form the mixture into 1-1 1/2 inch diameter balls (the size of a small walnut), and place on the prepared baking tray.

* At this stage you can freeze the meatballs on their trays, and once frozen pack in Ziploc bags in individual or 2 person servings for future meals.

To cook, defrost and either pan fry in a little oil or, as I like to do, place in a baking dish and bake at 400 F for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through but still moist.

These can be eaten as bite size appetizers on toothpicks, mixed with marinara sauce over pasta, or even as open-faced meatball subs.

These were tasty and my husband liked them too. However, I was looking for a spicier meatball so will try other recipes.
