Hints & Tips

  • To use this recipe for mini-burgers instead, flatten each rolled meatball into a patty-pan before baking. Cut bread rounds with a cookie cutter if you do not have cocktail bread rolls handy.
  • Add leftover meatballs into your lunchbox the next day.
  • By adding apple for moisture, and bran flakes for fibre, meatballs take on a new nutritional high.
