Simple Meatballs

Yield – 4 servings

Preparation Time – 10 minutes

Cooking Time – 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• 2 cups beef or chicken broth (or homemade chicken broth)
• additional spices as desired
• salt
• 1-2 tsp corn starch (can be corn or potato starch)
• Serve with rice or pasta

Directions

• In a large bowl, mix together the raw hamburger, oats, and minced onion. Add in additional spices if desired for special flavors.
• Form the meat mixture into balls and place in an 8×8 baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes or until the meatballs are done on the inside.
• While the meatballs are cooking, cook your rice or pasta. You will also want to cook your gravy during this time.
• For the gravy, add the broth to a saucepan and stir in a bit of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add about a teaspoon of starch to a small bowl and mix with water to make a thick liquid. Add to the broth and stir while adding.  Let boil gently, stirring frequently until desired consistency is reached.
• To finish, put your meatballs on top of the pasta or rice and top with gravy.
