Make a bunch of these little balls and store them in the freezer for use in easy recipes like Sweet and Sour 'Meat'ball Stew. They freeze well too, so make a double batch to get dinner ready in the future.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 12 oz. roll frozen ground beef substitute, thawed
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp. mustard
- 1 Tbsp. ketchup
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix gently with your hands. (You may need to add more milk or bread crumbs to form a shapeable mixture, depending on the variety of beef substitute you use.) Form into 1" meatballs. Chill for 1-2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake meatballs for 20-30 minutes until firm and hot. You can then freeze these meatballs and use in other recipes that call for frozen precooked meatballs. Makes about 30.
