EASY MEATBALLS

EASY MEATBALLS

Serves 8
1 kg (2.2pounds) lean beef mince
2 eggs, beaten
1 large onion, finely diced
700 ml/23 fl.oz jar of passata (or chunky pasta sauce)
Preheat oven to 180°C/360F. In a large bowl, mix together the mince, eggs and onion and season with sea salt and cracked pepper. Using damp hands, roll into meatballs. Place in a casserole dish and pour over the sauce. In the empty jar, swirl 1⁄2 cup (125ml) of water to release remaining sauce and add to the dish. Stir to mix through, cover and cook for 30 minutes, remove lid and cook for a further 15 minutes.
You can also make this in your slow cooker – 7 hours on low.
Serve on top of your favourite cooked pasta, rice or with the Creamy Garlic Mash from page 38 in Menu Planning and steamed greens.
These are great the next day as meatball subs…..DELISH!
