How many meatballs does this mixture make? Thank you 🙂

Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and
I’m impressed! Very helpful information particularly the last part 🙂
I care for such information much. I was looking for this particular information for a long time.
Thank you and good luck.
Thank you.
Very simple recipe. I added more sauce in it to make it more tasty. Loooove it.
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing! Our kids love meatballs. 🙂
What temperature should the meatballs be baked at?
Bake it at 350 F for 20 minutes.
Ah, I tried this recipe last night and roasted at closer to 400 F (I’m in England and we use C). They were done after a further 15 minutes, so 35 in total. But I didn’t measure my vegetables, so I got a lot of extra water coming out of them. They were delicious and I think will make a tasty base for gyouza! 🙂 Thank you!
I am glad you like it. Hmm, I will have to figure out how to convert F to C. Got to use my Math 🙂 I am looking right now what is gyouza.
This is a nice way of giving flavour with that bland meat, love this recipe
Thanks!
