Meatballs {un-vegan}
Today I’m mixing it up a bit and instead of trying out a new recipe, I’m showing you all my tried and true one. Meatballs… so totally NOT vegan, but soo good. {You gotta throw in some meat sometimes, right?} I am loosely calling this a recipe as there is much more an art to making meatballs than science.
I start out with some good ground beef, in the 80-85% lean variety. I add an egg and a small handful of romano/parmesan cheese {dairy free? I have been known to use nutritional yeast instead with great success}, toast a piece of bread and then crumble it up and pour a bit of milk {you can use actual milk, we don’t have it in my house}, and finally some garlic pepper, oregano and just a tiny pinch of salt.
I roll them into balls and broil them on high for about 10 mins on one side, then flip and cook for about 5 minutes more.
Oh and here’s where the magic happens…
Thom’s fancy {vegan} vodka sauce.
His secret ingredient? Well, maybe I’ll share next time…
Do the kids like it, you ask?
You tell me.
