Sweet Toddler Meatballs image

DUE TO THE "COMMENT" ON THE RATING SECTION, I THOUGHT IT BEST THAT I POINT OUT THAT THE GROUND BEEF IS LEAN GROUND BEEF, OR GROUND TURKEY CAN BE USED IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FAT CONTENT. I ALSO THINK THERE MAY BE AN ERROR IN THE COMPUTATION OF THE NUTRITIONAL DATA. i usually feed my toddler strictly fish and veggies but wanted to add a bit of meat to her diet for once and a while. small meatballs with just enough sweet taste for a toddler and just the right size for those that are too independent to be fed and get frustrated with forks and spoons. you can also add a dipping sauce on the side. i use all organic ingredients for these and i never really measure so use your best judgement; i am just a beginner cook and i am sure you can improve these vastly!!!!! i also froze them and they were just as good when i cooked them up.

Time 40m

Yield 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs lean organic ground beef or 3 lbs turkey
1/4 cup brown sugar or 1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 eggs
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon garlic powder
olive oil, for bottom of pan

Steps:

  • mix all ingredients together, using as much egg and breadcrumbs as you need to get the consistency you want; just as long as they hold together nicely.
  • roll into quarter size balls and place casserole dish or aluminum roasting pan that has olive oil on the bottom to prevent the meat balls from sticking.
  • bake 350 for thirty minutes.
  • my daughter loves these plain; but you can make a sweet and sour sauce to go with them for dipping.
