I loved it when mom made these lamb balls. It's a great way to use up left over roasted lamb too. Serve with new minted potatoes, fresh peas & a salad.

CARROT MARSHMALLOW BALLS



Carrot Marshmallow Balls image

If you have a bit of time, then these are well-worth the time to make, kids just love these. Although this recipe makes nine balls, my advice to you is you better double or even triple the recipe, cause these are so good, you are going to need to! Prep time includes boiling the carrots

CARROT MEATBALLS



Carrot Meatballs image

This is a variation from an OLD Betty Crocker cookbook. My son asks for these regularly!! They're a great way to get kids to eat veggies, they're fairly low calorie, and scrumptious, to boot! We usually eat them with rice and salad. I also tend to make a double recipe because they're great as leftovers, too. (if you get tired of making meatballs, save the meat and make more the next day, OR make an egg stirfry with spinach! That's tasty too, I've found!) Also, please keep in mind that the Prep-time listed is for using a Salad Shooter or similar for grating the carrots. If you don't have something like that, doing the grating by hand should add another 15 minutes or so, depending on you!

Categories     Meatballs

Time 35m

Yield 20-30 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb hamburger, ground lamb, turkey or chicken, or any combination there-of
1 1/2 cups grated carrots (peeling is optional)
1 medium onion, minced or grated
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon basil (I prefer fresh buds from my live-plant!)
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare all ingrediatns as listed above and mix well. I prefer using my stand-mixer with the open paddle-blade.
  • Form into 1/8 cup meatballs and place in a baking pan, preferably a broiler pan, especially if using a higher-fat content meat. (I use an 1/8 cup measuring spoon and pack the meat into it on the side of the bowl, then use another spoon to pull it out and form the balls a little better on the pan--quicker than trying to do it by hand and less messy!).
  • Bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. (The cook book suggested frying them, and serving with a brown gravy, but baking is healthier, and the gravy only covers the great flavor!).
