Vegemite Meatballs image

something different with vegemite and a way to hide red kidney beans. Make a great mini meatball roll: Split a small dinner roll, spread with butter and sandwich with two meatballs, grated carrot and corn relish. For a quick dinner, stir cooked meatballs through hot tomato pasta sauce and serve with pasta. Meatballs can be made up to two days in advance and stored, covered, in the fridge. You can also freeze for up to two months: Line a shallow tray with baking paper. Arrange balls on tray and place in the freezer. Once frozen, pack in snap-lock bags or airtight containers. Return to freezer.
