Tennessee "Oriental" Meatballs

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef, 80/20 ratio (we use Gourmet Pasture Beef)
• 4 whole eggs
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup sesame oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1t ground ginger
• 2T chopped garlic
• 1/4t crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 T Dijon mustard
• black pepper to taste
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup whole oats (we use Tennessee Oats)

Preparation

• Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl, using hands with gloves is the easiest way.
• Chill for one hour as they are easier to shape when they are cold.
• Shape into meatballs with hands or ice cream scoop to desired size.
• Place on baking pan with sides to catch excess grease.
• Bake in 400F oven for 15-20 minutes or until firm.

Comments

• Number of meatballs will depend on size, but for 1 ounce meatballs, you will get 30-40.
• Meatballs maybe frozen prior to cooking for latter use.
• Serve with any sauce you desire, stir fried vegetables or roasted winter squash.
• Enjoy!
